Frankfort (or Frankford) Springs

FRANKFORT SPRINGS - Founded 1772.  Small Beaver County Community of just over 100 residents.  Frankfort Springs is known for the nearby Frankfort Mineral Springs that are located within Racoon Creek State Park.  The springs were a central part of the former Frankfort Mineral Springs Hotel that was extremely popular during the 1800s.

The general area around Frankfort Springs was first settled by Levi Dungan of Philadelphia.  Frankfort Springs is named after what is now the Frankford neighborhood in Philadelphia

It appears that the Keystone Town Marker may be in error as it does not appear that the town was ever named Frankford Springs.
