About Franktown, Colorado

Franktown takes its name from James Frank Gardner, a prospector. His 1859 cabin grew into a settlement called Frankstown. It became the first seat of Douglas County in 1861. In 1864 the seat moved to California Ranch, a rest stop on the Jimmy Camp Trail. Settlers and their post office followed. The office took the name Franktown.

A pine forest called the Pinery covered the ridge beside town. In the 1860s it gave Denver and other growing towns most of their lumber. Sawmills in and around Franktown ran nonstop. In the early 1870s they cut railroad ties for two lines. The mills were silent by 1880, but Pinery lumber had built much of early Colorado.
