The French sent a group here in 1753 to build a fort after taking claim of the area. Young George Washington was sent to warn the French that they needed to leave as they were trespassing on British land. Of course, they didn't listen and built Fort Machault in open defiance. They grouped here in preparation for an attack on Fort Pitt and to reclaim Fort Duquesne for their homeland of France. Before the attacks began, the French were warned that their forts along the Great Lakes were being attacked by the British. Their plans changed as they went north to fortify their other holdings and to protect Fort Niagara. They burned the fort and all the supplies before leaving. After the French left, the British came in and built another fort. It was destroyed in 1763 in a surprise attack during Pontiac's uprising. Finally, Fort Franklin, an American fort, was built in 1787. A large area was set aside by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the city of Franklin. Andrew Ellicott was the man in charge. He was the one who had surveyed the site of Washington, D.C. Once Colonel Edwin Drake discovered oil in Titusville, the entire area began an oil boom. Franklin is a small, rural town, which is also the county seat of Venango County.
