How New Franklin began
Franklin Township's first attempted village, Cartersville, was platted in 1806 at the junction of the Tuscarawas and Chippewa rivers by wealthy Wheeling land buyer Richard Carter but was apparently never built on and vanished without a trace. The township's first real settlers arrived in the spring of 1814: Christopher 'Yankee Johnson,' followed weeks later by Thomas Johnson and William Hallowell; Thomas Johnson's homestead later gave its name to the Johnson's Corners hamlet in neighboring Norton Township. Stark County's commissioners organized Franklin Township in early 1817 after a citizen petition, holding its first election that April, with David Harvey (the same settler who platted Clinton) among its first justices of the peace; the township remained agricultural for most of its history. In 1997 residents incorporated the village of New Franklin out of part of Franklin Township specifically to prevent annexation by neighboring municipalities, and after a 2003 merger vote the remaining township and the new village consolidated on January 1, 2005, becoming a city on March 5, 2006. A 2007 ballot measure to rename the city Portage Lakes, after the recreational lake area within it, failed 57 percent to 42 percent; the 2005 merger drove a 549 percent population jump from 2,191 in 2000 to 14,227 in 2010.
Settled 1814 (Christopher 'Yankee Johnson,' followed by Thomas Johnson and William Hallowell), incorporated Franklin Township organized 1817 (Stark County); village of New Franklin 1997; merged with township January 1, 2005; city March 5, 2006.
Where the name comes from
New Franklin takes its name from the original Franklin Township, out of which the village was incorporated in 1997.
Before the town
No Native American village, mound, or treaty site specific to New Franklin/Franklin Township is documented in the sources consulted. The area lies within the region opened to settlement by the 1795 Treaty of Greenville.
Nations recorded here: Lenape (Delaware).

- — George Rex builds a grist-mill at the outlet of Turkey Foot Lake over the winter, serving local demand rather than the longer trip to Middlebury's mill.
- — Stark County's commissioners organize Franklin Township after a citizen petition; the first election is held in April, with Jacob Balmer and David Harvey (who also platted Clinton) elected justices of the peace.

Stories
Incorporating to avoid being annexed
For most of the 20th century Franklin Township was simply farmland and small settlements south of Akron and Barberton, with no city government of its own. That changed in 1997, when residents worried about being swallowed piecemeal by annexation from surrounding cities and incorporated part of the township as the village of New Franklin specifically to keep control of their own land-use decisions. The strategy worked well enough that the rest of Franklin Township chose to join rather than stay separate: voters approved a merger in 2003, the consolidation took effect January 1, 2005, and the enlarged community became a city just over a year later, on March 5, 2006. The merger alone explains New Franklin's startling census numbers, a 549 percent jump from 2,191 residents in 2000 to 14,227 in 2010, since the city had absorbed the township's whole population rather than growing it organically. When residents were asked in 2007 whether to rename the city Portage Lakes, after the popular recreational lakes within its borders, they said no, keeping the name that traced back to the township's 1817 founding.
A town that died before it lived
More than a century before New Franklin incorporated to control its own land, someone else tried to found a town on the same stretch of river and failed completely. In 1806, a wealthy Wheeling Quaker named Richard Carter bought land at the junction of the Tuscarawas and Chippewa rivers and had it surveyed and platted as Cartersville, in his own honor. But the low ground flooded with every freshet, and the 1881 county history could find no evidence that anyone ever built there at all: no cabin, no cleared field, nothing beyond the plat itself. By the time real settlers reached the area in 1814, eight years later, Cartersville had vanished so completely that its exact location was already a matter of inference rather than memory, a reminder that not every village platted on paper in the Western Reserve ever became a place.

Mostly estimated. Only 2% of these days come from a gauge standing inside New Franklin - the rest are worked out from the nearest gauges around it, so read them as close estimates rather than readings.
48,550 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
