Frankfort is a historic town in Herkimer County, located just east of Utica. The Erie Canal, one of the most important waterways in New York’s development, runs along its northern border, tying Frankfort to centuries of regional commerce and industry. The town includes the Village of Frankfort and is named after Lawrence (Lewis) Frank, one of its earliest settlers.
First settled by German Palatines in 1723, the town faced early hardships during the French and Indian War, with settlers temporarily abandoning the area due to attacks. Frankfort was officially established after the Revolutionary War, taking shape from parts of the Town of German Flatts. Later, the Town of Deerfield was formed from Frankfort’s northwest portion in 1798.
Frankfort is also home to notable historic landmarks like The Balloon Farm, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. A bird’s-eye map from 1887 by L.R. Burleigh showcases the town's historic buildings and early civic development, evidence of its proud and enduring legacy.
As of the 2020 census, Frankfort had a population of 7,011, with 3,081 households and a rich blend of family types, ages, and cultural backgrounds. The town has a strong Italian American heritage, with many residents tracing their roots to towns like Oriolo and San Giuseppe Iato in Italy. This vibrant cultural foundation is reflected in the tight-knit neighborhoods, community events, and generational family ties that define Frankfort today.
The town spans 36.5 square miles, with creeks like Moyer Creek and Ferguson Creek flowing toward the Mohawk River, offering natural beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities. New York State Routes 5S and 171 provide convenient access throughout the town and connect it to Utica and neighboring communities.
While Frankfort is a peaceful and community-oriented town, accidents and injuries can still occur. Whether on busy roads like NY-5S, in workplaces, or on poorly maintained properties, life can change in an instant. That’s where Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys comes in.

At Sullivan Brill, we represent clients across a wide range of personal injury matters, including:
Frankfort’s roadways, including Route 5S, can be the site of serious collisions. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, involved in a rear-end crash, or a pedestrian injured on a crosswalk, we can help you recover medical expenses, lost wages, and more.
If you were injured due to unsafe property conditions—such as icy sidewalks, unlit stairwells, or wet floors—you may be entitled to compensation. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors.
Frankfort’s history is rich in manufacturing and labor, and modern-day residents still work in a variety of physical occupations. We represent clients injured on the job and help them navigate workers’ compensation claims and third-party liability lawsuits.
When doctors, hospitals, or healthcare providers make critical mistakes, patients can suffer serious harm. Our legal team investigates negligence in diagnosis, surgery, medication, and care protocols.
When a loved one is lost due to someone else’s reckless or negligent actions, we help families pursue justice through wrongful death claims, securing compensation for loss of income, companionship, and funeral costs.
