During these changes from one township to another, school districts were organized in these territories. Prior to 1857, there were only four school districts set up in the present Franklin area. They were: Franklin 6 (now Franklin 1 and Jt. 2), Franklin 8 (now Franklin Jt. 8, Jt. 6, and Jt. 9), Franklin 13 (now Franklin Jt. 3 and 13), and Franklin 14 (now Franklin 4 and Jt. 14). Cato Jt. 7 also consisted of a part of the Franklin area. See Cato introduction for an explanation of the missing district numbers. After Franklin became a township by itself, new school districts were organized and numbered from number 1 up and to fill in missing district numbers, but not always in the order of their organization. The missing district number 5 is unexplained after much research.
