District of Franklin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (192 words)
The District of Franklin was a former regional administrative district of Canada's Northwest Territories.
The district consisted of the Canadian high Arctic Islands, notably Ellesmere Island, Baffin Island, and Victoria Island.
Along with the District of Keewatin and the District of Mackenzie, it was one of the last remaining districts of the old Northwest Territories before the formation of Nunavut in 1999, at which point it ceased to exist.
