Fredericktown is a small community located in East Bethlehem Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. It's known as a "census-designated place" (CDP). This means it's an area identified by the U.S. Census Bureau for collecting statistics, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Fredericktown is situated along the Monongahela River, an important waterway in the region.

For the 2000 census, Fredericktown was part of a larger area called the Fredericktown-Millsboro CDP. However, for the 2010 census, it was separated into two distinct CDPs: Fredericktown and Millsboro. As of 2022, the estimated population of Fredericktown was about 296 people.
