Frankton, South Australia

Frankton is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder and Mid Murray Council. The section within the Goyder council was established in August 2000, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name"; the section within the Mid Murray council was added in March 2003. It is believed to be named after the son of two early residents, Mr. and Mrs. Rice.
