Welcome to Florence, “A City
of Character”. Conveniently located at the intersection of two major Interstate
highways, this South Carolina city is easily accessible and a world of fun.
In 1997, Florence became
a finalist as an All-American City, and it’s no wonder why. The city is
brimming with history, character, and Southern charm. Chartered in 1871 and
incorporated December 24, 1890, the original township formed as a railroad
terminal. The town was named after Florence Henning Harllee, the daughter of
William Wallace Harllee, the first president of the Wilmington & Manchester
Railroad. Today, Florence continues it’s growth with an ever
expanding population.
The City of Florence is a fine
example of a genteel, Southern city: mid-sized, yet large enough to boast of a
variety of things to see and do. Whether it’s the performing arts, fun
attractions, museums or sports, all are present in Florence. Still, the City is
small enough to preserve a small-town feeling with tree-lined streets and parks
and a pleasant lifestyle that citizens enjoy. Residents exude a strong sense of
community pride and Southern hospitality to visitors.
With a moderate climate year
round, any time is a good time for a visit. Summer tends to be a busy time of
year as tourists make their annual north/south vacation journey. With
temperatures during this time averaging near 80, it’s a perfect time to take
advantage of the many activities, historic sites, and attractions that are
available. Fall and spring do bring a change of season, complete with a new and
inspiring color scheme. The weather remains comfortable
The city has a variety of
experiences, both indoors and out, for everyone. Taking a stroll through any of
the parks is always a pleasure, particularly McLeod Park. Not only is a walk
enjoyable, the park also offers a swimming pool, fishing pond, lighted tennis
courts, ball fields, picnicking and more. For history buffs, a worthwhile trip
is a visit to the National Military Cemetery. This site serves as a burial
ground for Union soldiers who died in prison in Florence during the War Between
the States. For more history of the War, the War Between the States Museum
offers a walk into the past. The museum invites visitors to learn and read
about the role played by Florence in the Civil War.
