== History ==
This area was first settled by Europeans around 1723 when ethnic Germans were granted land. They had come to the colony as religious refugees. During the French and Indian War, this area suffered fierce attacks by French with Indian allies, and the settlers abandoned much of the area. The early town was a region assigned by patent to various landowners. It was resettled again before 1794.
After the American Revolutionary War, the Town of Frankfort was established by European Americans in 1796 from part of the Town of German Flatts. In 1798, the northwest part of Frankfort was taken away to form part of the Town of Deerfield.
The Balloon Farm in Frankfort was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
