Franklin Township is in the southeast corner of Marion County, Indiana, and has been subsumed into the city of Indianapolis along with most of the county. It contains the communities of Acton and Wanamaker.

Franklin Township is one of the last areas in Marion County to see heavy suburban land development from the outward expansion of Indianapolis. This is primarily because of a history of family farms in the area, but is also due to various civic efforts to maintain a rural atmosphere in the area over time.

In recent years, Franklin Township has seen a population explosion that has substantially contributed to property tax hikes to support public school development.
