Frankton is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder and Mid Murray Council.[3] 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.[1] It is believed to be named after the son of two early residents, Mr. and Mrs. Rice.[4]
Frankton School opened in 1884 and closed in 1938. A separate school, Dutton North, existed on the Levi's Water Hole property near the boundary with Dutton, from 1914 to 1927.[5]
