The City of Florence, population 40,000, is located in the beautiful northwest corner of the State of Alabama, 20 miles south of the border with Tennessee and 20 miles east of the Mississippi border.
Florence has the advantage of being situated on two lakes formed by TVA dams on the Tennessee River and is, therefore, a mecca for anglers, boaters, and water sports enthusiasts. The Parks and Recreation Department is recognized as among the best in the Southeast with four major parks, an 18-hole golf course, numerous playgrounds throughout the community, four community centers, a coliseum, and other recreational amenities. It was determined by a company specializing in appraising the historical importance of cities that Florence, because of the many historic buildings and districts in Florence, was tied for the Most Historic City in Alabama with one other Alabama city.
