Frankfort was settled before 1807 and incorporated as a village in 1863.
The Frankfort Waterworks Company was incorporated in 1851 by William T. Sheldon, William R. Stevens, Erastus Wollcutt, Daniel Mason and Ely T. Marsh "for the purpose of supplying the said village of Frankfort with pure and wholesome water." No evidence has been found that this company built a system.
The village of Frankfort built a gravity system in 1894 in conjunction with an electric light plant.
Water is currently provided by the Village of Frankfort.
