On Long Island, New York, in Nassau County, the United States, Franklin Square is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Hempstead. 30,903 people were living there as of the 2020 census.

Originally called Trimming Square, the location later became known as Washington Square.

  • History

The early white immigrants utilized what is now Franklin Square as grazing pasture and then agriculture. Franklin Square was located close to the middle of the Hempstead Plains.There were forests of dogwood and oak in the southern part.
Robert Fordham and John Carman signed a pact with the Massapequak, Mericoke, Matinecock, and Rockaway tribes in late 1643, agreeing to purchase an area of around 100 square miles on which to establish a new town. They bought this tract, which included a large portion of the present-day communities of North Hempstead and Hempstead.

George Washington visited the village in 1790 while on a tour of Long Island. “Entirely treeless except for a few scraggly fruit trees,” he noted in his diary. In the spring of 1840, Walt Whitman worked for three months as the schoolmaster of the Trimming Square school district, which is located around the intersection of Franklin Square, Garden City South, and West Hempstead.
A Louis Schroeher constructed a hotel next to the Hempstead-Jamaica Turnpike’s tollgate in 1852 (by what is now Arden Boulevard). The hotel brought more and more tourists and immigrants from New York City—many of them German—to the once-rural town.
