Florence History & Culture
Florence is proud of its history and the designation of the old town as a National Historic District. Over 100 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic places and the town strives to strike a balance between preserving the past and preparing for the future. Throughout its history, Florence’s architecture evolved from rustic Sonoran adobe brick buildings to the Modern Movement.
Florence is noted for its collection of adobe buildings, the earliest dating back to 1868. All of the architectural styles that existed in Territorial Arizona can be found along the streets of Florence today. The most spectacular landmark in Florence is the 1891 Pinal County Courthouse. The 1891 Courthouse is an excellent example of American Victorian architecture which reflected the County Supervisors' commitment to continued growth and prosperity in Pinal County.
