Frenchtown is an unincorporated community in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, United States.

The settlement's first white settler was Alex Moultrip (or Moulthrop),[2] a Revolutionary War soldier who, before 1800, had been given the land for his military service.

He cleared land and built a cabin, but left after about a year.

Shortly after 1820 Catholic families from eastern France and Switzerland immigrated to the settlement, which later became known as Frenchtown.

The parishioners started their own brick factory, and they felled local trees to obtain lumber.
