Franconia
The term of Franconia is today commonly used to refer to the eastern part of the historic Duchy of Franconia in Germany. The region is nowadays mainly represented by the administrative districts of Lower Franconia, Middle Franconia, and Upper Franconia in Bavaria. Due to the respective local East Franconian German dialects, the adjacent northeastern regions of Baden-Württemberg called Tauberfranken and Hohenlohe, most parts of southern Thuringia and a small part of Hessen are also considered as Franconian regions. The two largest cities of Franconia are Nuremberg and Würzburg. The metropolitan area of Nuremberg is often identified as the economic and cultural centre of Franconia.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Franconia
the name formerly applied to a loosely defined district in Central Germany, which, as the home of the Franks, was regarded as the heart of the Holy Roman Empire; the emperors long continued to be crowned within its boundaries; subsequently it was divided into two duchies, East Franconia and Rhenish Franconia; the latter was abolished in 1501 and the former much diminished; from 1806 to 1837 the name had no official existence, but in 1837 the names Upper, Middle, and Lower Franconia were given to the three northern divisions of Bavaria.
