Why Franklin, North Carolina
Franklin was laid out in 1820 on the site of Nikwasi, a Cherokee “mother town” and ceremonial center dating back centuries, where the surviving Nikwasi Mound was built around 1000 CE. British envoy Sir Alexander Cuming held a council in the townhouse atop the mound in 1730, and the town itself was burned twice, in 1761 and again in 1776 during the Revolutionary War, before Cherokee residents were forced from the land in 1819. In a remarkable and very recent turn, the Town of Franklin formally returned ownership of the mound, renamed Noquisiyi, to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in February 2026, more than 200 years after it was taken. The town itself, incorporated in 1855, is named not for Benjamin Franklin but for North Carolina Governor Jesse Franklin.
Franklin is also widely known as a gem-mining destination: corundum, the mineral family behind rubies and sapphires, was discovered in nearby Cowee Valley in 1867, and commercial mining drew interest from Tiffany & Co. in the 1890s, searching for a primary ruby vein that, to this day, has never been found. A log cabin retreat with its own mountain views sits today in a valley that holds one of the Cherokee world’s most significant ceremonial sites and a century and a half of ruby-hunting mystery.
