Frederick C. Franck Sr. (August 17, 1828 – September 20, 1902), also known as F.C. Franck,[1] was an American politician and who served as a State Senator for the California's 30th State Senatorial district from 1895 to 1899. Franck, a veteran of the Mexican War and a former saddle maker turned gold miner, played a role in organizing the Santa Clara Fire Department in 1851.[2][3][4] He was a charter member of the Santa Clara Verein, a mid-19th-century German social hall that was a popular gathering spot for the Santa Clara community in California.[5]
