Frankport, also called Frankfort,[2] is a ghost town in Curry County, Oregon. The town was centered on Frankport Beach, located in what is now Sisters Rocks State Park.[3] Also part of Frankport was an island off the coast that was home to a shipping dock.[2] The island, one of the three Sisters Rocks,[4] was connected to the mainland by a bridge with a wooden railway.[2]
Frankport was named after the S.H. Frank Tannery in Redwood City, California, where it would ship Notholithocarpus densiflorus bark to.[5]
Frankport was founded in the 1850s by gold prospectors from California.[6] [7] The town's shipping dock closed in 1905.[5] All that remains of Frankport today is metal debris scattered throughout Frankport Beach.[3] [8]
