Native American trails, a quest for new land and resources, and railroads significantly impacted the founding and growth of the Village of Frankfort. Frankfort is located approximately 35 miles southwest of Chicago in Will County on the highest spot between Chicago and the Mississippi River.

Founded in 1855, Frankfort has progressed from a German farm community into a high-quality rural community with rich historic charm. This historical village is a favorite destination of those seeking unique shopping, notable restaurants or a relaxing walk down a main street of Civil War-era buildings.

Much of the 1890's-era architecture throughout the Village of Frankfort is blended with visitor and recreational amenities including the Old Plank Road Trail (part of the Grand Illinois Trail) and village greens that help contribute to the progressiveness of this thriving community.
