Frackville, Administrative borough in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Located at the intersection of Interstate 81 and State Route 61, Frackville sits on the north slope of Broad Mountain at 1,470 feet elevation.
The merger of two villages, Frackville and Mountain City, led to the incorporation of this borough in 1876, named after early settler Daniel Frack.
The Dutch Kitchen diner represents a gathering place where residents maintain connections to their Pennsylvania German and mining community heritage.
Interstate 81 provides direct access to Philadelphia 102 miles southeast and Scranton 60 miles northeast, with local police coverage from Borough Hall.
The Mahanoy Plane, operating until 1931, transported 50,000 tons of coal daily up the steep grade of Broad Mountain north of Frackville.
