Franklin Township was incorporated on February 21, 1798, as one of New Jersey's initial group of 104 townships by an act of the New Jersey Legislature. What is now Franklin Township was originally formed circa 1745 as Eastern precinct. In 2008, Franklin Township ranked #5 on Money magazine's list of America's Top 100 Best Places to Live. Traditionally a farming community, it has become a fast-growing suburb with massive development in the later 20th and 21st centuries as a diverse blend of races, religions, and cultures. The township was the state's 19th most-populous municipality in 2020, after being ranked 22nd in 2010. As of the 2020 United States census, the township's population was 68,364, an increase of 6,064 (+9.7%) from the 2010 census count of 62,300, which in turn reflected an increase of 11,397 (+22.4%) from the 50,903 counted in the 2000 census.
