| FRANCES | |
 Frances is a farming community on Highway 6. E.H.McHenry, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific Railroad survey crew who passed through the area in 1892, bestowed the name. Frances was his wife's middle name. Several Swiss/German families settled in the area in 1886 and have been a dominant group in the community for over 100 years. Descendants hold a variety of ethnic celebrations at the Swiss Picnic Grounds on Elk Prairie Road each year.(Pacific County Historical Society) |
