- Description
- Frankford Township is located in Sussex County, New Jersey. The township was formed on April 10, 1797, from portions of Newton Township. In the 19th century, portions of Frankford were taken to form several other municipalities: Lafayette Township and Sparta Township broke off in 1845, and the borough of Branchville broke off in 1898. Consequently, slavery era records that list Frankford as the location, may refer to places in present-day Lafayette, Sparta, or Branchville.
