Established in 1866 and situated on a terrace overlooking the Gila River, Florence has the distinction of being one of the oldest towns in the state. The sidewalk overhangs and false front stores give the town an authentic Old West feel, and the Historic District boasts over 100 turn-of-the-century homes that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
See for yourself some of the properties and homes representing Florence and Arizona’s Territorial history.
