Founded by Mormon pioneers led by Thomas S. Smart on April 14, 1860 in what was then Washington Territory. The town received its name after Franklin Richards, an Apostle for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Franklin is the first permanent European settlement in present-day Idaho. However, the town's founders believed the town site was in Utah Territory. Its political status remained ambiguous until an 1872 survey determined the town site was in Idaho Territory about 1-mile (1.6 km) north of the Utah Territory border
