During the Civil War, Frankfort was briefly occupied by the Confederate Army. Fortifications overlooking the town were built on what is now called Fort Hill, and the disruption of war to the economy and society caused difficult times in the city. Social and political unrest plagued Frankfort after the war. Political unrest culminated with the assassination of Democratic governor-elect William Goebel in 1900.
After the war, the city eventually revived, and business started to flourish once again. The city's population grew from 3,702 in 1860 to 9,487 in 1900. Distilleries, meatpacking, flour milling, and lumber mills all grew rapidly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
