Frankfort[1] is a ghost town in Pacific County, Washington on the mouth of the Columbia River near Portuguese Point.
As there were no roads, and access to the area was only by boat, lots were sold on the premise that the railroad would eventually build a line through the community.
A post office, general store, saloon, sawmill and a hotel were built and a newspaper, the Frankfort Chronicle, was established.
The financial Panic of 1893 deterred any future investors, and the town took a downhill turn.
There are no public roads which lead directly to the area and access by foot is extremely difficult.
