Princeton, one of the larger towns of Franklin county, is located in the southern portion on Middle creek and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. R. 9 miles south of Ottawa, the county seat. It is near the site of the old town of Ohio, which was laid out in 1857. The present town grew up after the building of the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston R. R. in 1869, and soon became the supply and shipping town for the district. It has general stores, hardware and implement houses, lumber yard, blacksmith and wagon shop, money order postoffice, telegraph and express facilities, and in 1910 had a population of 240.
