What County is Frankfort?

Frankfort is the capital of the state of Kentucky. Although it was close, the name of the city has nothing to do with Frankfurt am Main. In 1780, a pioneer named Stephen Frank died in an Indian attack on the banks of the Kentucky River. In 1792 the city became the capital. To become it, the citizens offered a government commission, among others, building land, building materials, the income of a tobacco shop and $ 3,000 in cash. That was enough. The city grew slowly and continuously until 1937. This year, the Kentucky River destroyed numerous houses.
