Driving through downtown Florence the other day, I was surprised to see this beautiful little greenspot. I think you will be surprised and will appreciate the efforts made to beautify downtown Florence. The terrain is flat, paved and handicapped accessible. For your own safety, no night caching. Coords will be off because of the proximity of buildings.
Florence began as a railroad depot and an inn. The town started as a plot of 577 acres as a grant from the state. In 1859 Jerome P.Chase, a telegraph operator arrived and became a successful businessman, selling insurance real estate and became known as the "Father of Florence. The City of Florence was named for Florence Henning Harlee, daughter of General W.W. Harlee, president of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad. In 1860 the first map of Florence was created. Florence was a planned community with seven streets and 96 lots.
