History
Frankfort was laid out in 1867 when the Central Branch Union Pacific Railroad was built through the area.[7] The nearby post office of Nottingham, created in 1857, moved about a half-mile northwest to be at the railroad. It was named after Frank Schmidt, a member of the town company.[8] Frankfort was incorporated as a city of the third class in 1875.[9]
The town is famous for the 32 men it lost during World War II. This was more per capita than any other community in the United States.[10]
