Frankford, Delaware, USA is a small, quiet community located in Kent County, Delaware. One of the oldest settlements in Delaware, it was founded in 1683 and was originally named "Cross Roads" and later named after the German city of Frankfurt. Sparsely populated, the community retains a rural feel with an idyllic setting and low-density housing. Landmarks in the community include the historic Frankford United Methodist Church, which was built in 1812 and is an important cultural landmark in the area. Though small in size, Frankford is conveniently located near major Delaware highways such as Route 8 and is about an hour's drive from both Dover (Delaware's capital) and Wilmington (the state's largest city) for residents seeking a quieter life. Its unique historical background and laid-back atmosphere make it a hidden gem in overlooked Delaware.
