Florence is a city filled with history and Southern charm. Florence is a mid-sized city large enough to hold a performance theater, symphony orchestra, many ballet companies, museums, festivals, the Pee Dee Cyclones in the Southern Professional Hockey league, and the world-class recreation complex Freedom Florence.

However, Florence is still small enough to preserve a small-town feeling. It is filled with tree-lined streets and parks, and residents exude a Southern hospitality. Florence is the largest city in the Northeastern portion of South Carolina and conveniently located at the intersections of I-95 and I-20. As well, the city offers a wide range of dining and holds spectacular local cuisine and many national franchises as well.
