The southern boundary of the County is also the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland, also known as the Mason-Dixon Line. The County encompasses an area of 754 square miles and had an estimated population in 2000 of 129,318. Rolling hills, forests, mountains, valleys and clear springs create the beauty of Franklin County. With the diversity of Franklin County`s economic base, the residents enjoy the advantages of both urban and rural opportunities within the County.

Since its establishment in 1784, Franklin County has enjoyed a steady, healthy growth and has become the financial and commercial center of much of the Cumberland Valley. With two major railroads, the Conrail and the CSX, and the meeting place for three major highways: Route 30, Route 11 and Interstate 81, Franklin County grows daily. In addition to commercial growth, Franklin County continues to support a healthy farm industry with the County ranking second in the state in the production of milk, meat, apples and peaches. There are currently 1,690 farms in the County consisting of 255,500 acres. The County also has 39,780 acres of state forest lands with approximately 15,178 acres as state game lands.

With the adoption of the City Charter in 1949, the council-manager form of government under which the City of Killeen currently operates was established. The mayor is the City`s chief elected officer, but has no administrative power. The mayor presides over the City`s seven member City Council, which sets all policy. The operations of the City are overseen by a city manager appointed by the council. The citizens elect a mayor and three council members at large. The other four council members represent specific districts of the City and are elected by voters living in their districts. Terms for the mayor and all council members are two years, with a three-consecutive-term limitation for each office. The City holds nonpartisan elections each May. The mayor and the at-large council members are elected in even-numbered years, and the four district council members are elected in odd-numbered years.
