In Florence, Arizona, you are fortunate to live in one of the most historic towns in the Southwest. Located on the outskirts of Phoenix, Florence is home to some of America’s earliest settlers and its rich history can be explored through a number of landmarks.
First among these is The Pinal County Courthouse, built in 1891 it stands as a testament to the town’s old-fashioned charm and has been listed with the National Register for Historic Places since 1972. But there’s more! You can explore nearby Goldfield Ghost Town which offers insights into what life was like over 100 years ago when miners first came here to search for gold. Then there is Box Canyon, another great spot to get out and experience nature – see the deep ravines formed by thousands of years of erosion or take a stroll along the Apache Trail that follows along beside beautiful Roosevelt Lake.
