Frankton is a central suburb of the city of Hamilton, New Zealand. It is the site of the city's passenger railway station, a major industrial-commercial stretch of State Highway 1C, and a commercial shopping area. Frankton Borough Council was formed in 1913, but merged with Hamilton in 1917,[3] after a poll in 1916.[4]
