"However, back in the late 1880s, the Franklinville Railroad Station — originally located on County Route 538 behind the Franklinville fire house — was a busy transportation hub for passenger trains.... Coulbourn said the Franklinville Railroad Station was donated to Franklin Township in 2007 in memory of her parents Robert and Dora Albertson, by herself and her brothers Robert Jr., Stanley, David and James. The building has been at its current location, on the shores of Franklinville Lake, since that time, when a major refurbishing project began."

"Franklinville, located in the northwest part of the township, was one of the earliest settled localities in what is now Franklin. The land upon which the village is located was owned, at the beginning of the present century, by William Fisher, who located a tract of over one thousand acres, and for many years the hamlet was called Little Ease, and so designated in the early records of the township."
