Frankfort is an unincorporated community in Franklin County, Alabama, United States.
The name Frankfort comes from a combination of Franklin (the county) and fort.[1] In 1849, Franklin County consisted of all of current Franklin County and Colbert County. A vote was held to move the county seat to a more central location from Russellville, and Frankfort was founded in that location. The courthouse and jail were built from local-made brick. In 1879, the county seat was moved to Belgreen.[2] A post office operated under the name Frankfort from 1852 to 1909.[3]
The Frankfort (stone) meteorite, a Howardite meteorite, fell in Frankfort on December 5, 1868.[4]
