WE L C O M E T O F L O R E N C E , A R I Z O N A ! A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Neighbors and Visitors, On behalf of the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Florence and to our new Visitors Guide & Business Directory. Florence is a community with a remarkable past and an incredibly promising future. Our history can be seen throughout our historic downtown, in the buildings that have existed for generations, and in the stories of the people who helped shape our community. But what makes Florence truly special is that our history is only part of our story. Today, Florence is a growing, welcoming community fi lled with opportunity, character and people who genuinely care about its future. Over the past year, the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce has made considerable progress, and I am proud to be part of both the organization and the Florence community. We have built new relationships and strengthened partnerships with local businesses, community organizations, government, and residents. These connections are creating a stronger, more united Florence—and this is only the beginning. At the heart of the Chamber are our members. When a business joins the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce, it is doing more than simply joining an organization. It is investing in our local business community and in Florence as a whole. A strong Chamber helps create a strong business environment, and strong local businesses help create a vibrant, prosperous community. I encourage you to support the Chamber members listed throughout this Guide and to shop, dine and do business locally whenever possible. If you are visiting Florence, I hope you take some time to explore everything our community has to offer. Discover our rich history, visit our local attractions, enjoy our restaurants and shops, attend one of our many community events, and most importantly, get to know the people who make Florence such a special place. If you are considering making Florence your home or bringing your business here, you are making an excellent choice. Florence combines the character and close-knit community of a historic Arizona town with a confident outlook on new opportunities and growth. The future holds tremendous potential for our businesses, residents, and community. The future of Florence is bright, and I am excited about what lies ahead.

We are fortunate to have a rich history, a strong sense of tradition, and a community spirit that continues to shape our future. What truly makes Florence special, however, is its people — the families who have called it home for generations, the individuals who are discovering it for the first time, the local businesses that serve our community, and the dedicated volunteers and organizations who work every day to make Florence a better place. As Florence continues to grow and evolve, we have an exciting opportunity to preserve the character and traditions that make our community unique while embracing new ideas, new businesses, and new opportunities. Our local businesses are an essential part of that future.

Florence’s greatest strength has always been its people and the way we come together to support one another. By working together, honoring our past, and looking toward the future with optimism, we can continue to build a community we are proud to share with the next generation. Thank you for being part of Florence and for helping make our community such a wonderful place to live, work, and do business. With community pride, Kari Bradley Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce

PEOPLE, AND POSITIONED FOR A REMARKABLE FUTURE.
Few communities in Arizona can tell a story quite like Florence. Here, history is not confined to a museum or commemorated only by a plaque on the side of a building. It is visible in the adobe walls and historic homes of downtown, in the first Pinal County Courthouse at McFarland State Historic Park, in streets laid out more than a century and a half ago, and in traditions that continue to bring neighbors and visitors together. Yet Florence is much more than its past. Today, it remains the county seat of Pinal County, a community where historic preservation and new development exist side by side. Families discover Florence as a place to call home. Businesses are finding opportunity. Community organizations are creating new events and experiences. And local leaders are planning for growth while working to protect the qualities that make Florence distinctive. The story of Florence can be understood in three chapters: a remarkable past, an active present and a future being shaped with intention.

Long before the establishment of the modern community of Florence, people were building lives along the Gila River. The river valley supported agriculture for centuries. The people archaeologists call the Hohokam developed extensive canal systems, and later Indigenous communities, including Akimel O’odham and Tohono O’odham people, carried forward deep cultural and agricultural connections to the region. Modern Florence began taking shape in 1866, when Levi Ruggles—an Indian agent for the Arizona Territory— settled in the area and laid out the townsite. His plan created a grid of broad streets and incorporated canals and irrigation ditches. Trees planted along the waterways provided shade, giving the desert settlement a distinctive character that can still be recognized in the historic core.
Visitor Center, giving visitors a natural starting point for exploring the town’s history. Florence continued to evolve through the late 1800s and early 1900s, leaving an extraordinary collection of adobe, brick, and wood buildings. Downtown Florence is listed as a National Historic District, and the Town identifies Florence as Arizona’s sixth-oldest non-Native American settlement. That history remains one of Florence’s greatest treasures. Visitors can walk through downtown and see buildings that have witnessed territorial days, statehood, economic booms and downturns, generations of families and more than 150 years of Arizona history.

The community grew steadily. E.N. Fish & Company opened Florence’s first store in 1868, and a post office soon followed. In 1875, the Arizona Territorial Legislature created Pinal County and selected Florence as the county seat, a distinction it retains today. The discovery of silver at the nearby Silver King Mine in the 1870s helped accelerate commerce and growth across the region. Merchants, ranchers, farmers, miners, attorneys, government officials, and entrepreneurs arrived. Businesses opened. Homes were constructed. Public buildings rose from the desert. By the late nineteenth century, Florence had become an important governmental and commercial center in Arizona Territory. One of the most important surviving reminders of that era is the first Pinal County Courthouse. Designed and built by Levi Ruggles in 1878, the adobe building later served several community purposes and today is preserved as McFarland State Historic Park. It also houses the Florence

More than 160 years after its founding, Florence has entered another important chapter. The community remains the seat of Pinal County government and occupies a strategic location in central Pinal County, connected by State Routes 79 and 287 and Hunt Highway. Its position between the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas provides regional access while Florence retains the personality and pace of a smaller community. Drive through historic downtown and you may pass century-old adobe homes, historic commercial buildings, museums, and landmarks. Travel farther into the community and the landscape changes as newer neighborhoods, schools, recreational facilities, and businesses reflect a growing modern Florence. That combination gives the town something increasingly difficult to find: authentic character together with room for opportunity. Florence’s historic district remains central to the community’s identity. Preservation is not simply about saving old buildings; it is about maintaining the sense of place that makes Florence different. Town planning and

McFarland State Historic Park introduces visitors to Florence’s territorial story in the community’s first courthouse. A short trip south on Main Street leads to another important cultural resource: the Pinal County Historical Museum. Founded by the Pinal County Historical Society in the late 1950s, the museum preserves and interprets the history of Florence, the Gila River Valley and Pinal County through artifacts, exhibits, educational programs, and a research collection. Its displays have explored subjects ranging from Florence’s historic district and agriculture to ranching, the Junior Parada Rodeo and the region’s correctional history. Together, McFarland and the Pinal County Historical Museum help turn Florence’s history into an experience rather than simply a story. A C O M M U N I T Y T H AT G AT H E R S
Florence’s identity is also expressed through traditions that bring people downtown and welcome visitors throughout the year. The Historic Florence Home Tour opens doors to significant homes, churches, museums, and civic sites

The Junior Parada, a Florence tradition dating back generations, combines rodeo heritage with a parade on Historic Main Street. In December, the Hometown Holiday Light Parade brings a festive procession to the community. These traditions join car shows, markets, educational programs, business gatherings, and other celebrations in creating reasons to visit Florence—and reasons to return.
other public- and private-sector employers. Together, these organizations bring workers into Florence each day and contribute to the community’s economic activity, local businesses, and regional role.
The Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce is part of that effort, working with businesses, community organizations, government partners, and residents to promote local commerce, tourism and community engagement. Programs and events such as Memories on Main, business networking activities, the McFarland Market and Women in Business help connect Florence’s businesses with the people who live, work, and visit here.

Supporting local businesses is an important part of the Florence experience. A meal at a locally owned restaurant, a purchase from a downtown shop, a museum visit or attendance at a community event does more than fi ll an afternoon. It helps strengthen the economic foundation of the community. Florence also serves as an important employment center for the surrounding region. Major job providers include Pinal County, the Town of Florence, Correctional Facilities, Florence Unified School District, Florence Copper, and

Growth brings opportunity, but it also brings important choices. How can Florence welcome new families and businesses without losing its character? How can historic buildings be preserved while creating spaces for new investment? How can infrastructure keep pace with development? These questions are shaping Florence today. One answer is revitalization. The Town of Florence has established an Infi ll Incentive District to encourage redevelopment and new residential and commercial opportunities in the historic core. Available tools can include fee waivers, parking flexibility, expedited processing, and other development considerations. The underlying idea is important: historic preservation does not have to mean standing still. A restored historic building can become a restaurant. An older storefront can house a new retailer.

PA S T , P R E S E N T & F U T U R E property can become a destination. Historic architecture can be an economic asset. Florence also benefits from its location within a changing Pinal County. Infrastructure—roads, transportation planning, water and wastewater systems, public safety, and other municipal services—will influence how effectively the community accommodates development. Quality of life will matter just as much. Florence offers historic identity, desert scenery, community traditions, regional accessibility and a powerful sense of place. Entrepreneurs and small businesses can play a particularly significant role in the next chapter. Independent restaurants, retailers, professional services, tourism businesses, and home-based businesses add variety to the local economy while creating a community identity that cannot simply be replicated somewhere else. A successful downtown becomes more than a collection of businesses. It becomes a gathering place—a place for breakfast on Saturday morning, a place to shop after visiting a historic attraction, a place to attend a festival and a place where visitors decide that one afternoon in Florence was not enough. The buildings bring people here. The businesses give them something to experience. The people give them a reason to come back.

Florence’s future may ultimately be defined by one word: balance. The opportunity before the community is not simply to grow. It is to grow in a way that makes Florence stronger. The Town’s 2026–2031 Strategic Plan identifies economic development and vitality as a major priority. Its goals include encouraging responsible growth, creating an economic development strategy, streamlining development review, strengthening relationships with employers, promoting local business opportunities, and coordinating development with long-range planning and infrastructure needs. One long-range concept is Territory Square, a multiowner planning effort involving approximately 623 acres along the Gila River. Town materials describe the area as an opportunity for economic, planning and engineering enhancements and for stronger connectivity between historic Florence and developing areas north of the Gila River. Residential development is also likely to continue shaping demand for restaurants, healthcare, shopping, recreation, professional services, and entertainment. For entrepreneurs,

that means potential customers. For established businesses, it means opportunity. For Florence, it means the chance to broaden its economy while preserving the community assets that make it distinctive. Tourism can be part of that future because Florence does not have to manufacture a story, it already has one. Historic architecture, McFarland State Historic Park, the Pinal County Historical Museum, heritage events such as the Historic Home Tour and Junior Parada, local businesses, outdoor recreation and the character of Main Street can form the foundation for an even stronger visitor experience. The goal should not be to turn Florence into someplace else. It should be to make Florence the best possible version of Florence. That means restoring rather than replacing when possible. It means welcoming new businesses while supporting those that have invested here for years. It means building new neighborhoods while maintaining connections to the historic community. It means improving roads, infrastructure and amenities while protecting the character that makes Florence recognizable.
And it means remembering that successful communities are ultimately built by people: business owners who take a chance on an idea; residents who volunteer; teachers who educate another generation; organizations that preserve history; government leaders who plan for tomorrow; visitors who discover Florence for the first time; and families who decide this is where they want to stay. Florence has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to endure and evolve—from an agricultural settlement beside the Gila River to a territorial center and the county seat of modern Pinal County, and now to a community positioned within a rapidly changing region. Through every chapter, Florence has carried pieces of its past forward. More development will come. New businesses will open. Neighborhoods will grow. Roads and public spaces will change. New generations will create traditions of their own. But standing among the historic buildings of downtown Florence, it is possible to imagine tomorrow without losing sight of yesterday. Because the best future for Florence is one that builds upon what has always made this community special: its history, its people, its independence, its sense of place and its unmistakable Arizona character.

PINAL COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Joel Millman Director
Economic development is about creating opportunity: a job closer to home, a new customer for a local business, or an investment that strengthens a community. In Greater Florence, those opportunities connect a proud history with the next chapter of Pinal County’s economy.
Located between Phoenix and Tucson, Pinal County brings together manufacturing, agriculture, mining, logistics, tourism, and entrepreneurship. That diversity creates opportunities for communities throughout the county, including Florence. Our goal is to help translate regional investment into lasting benefits for residents and businesses. Florence Copper illustrates that connection. The company produced its first copper cathode from its commercial facility in February 2026 and is increasing production. By September, Florence Copper reported more than
18
FLORENCEAZCHAMBER.COM
200 direct employees, with most recent hires coming from Pinal County. The project connects Florence to domestic manufacturing supply chains while creating local employment and opportunities for businesses that serve industrial employers and their workers. Across the region, investments in advanced manufacturing, electric vehicles, batteries, and semiconductor suppliers are broadening Pinal County’s economic base. Lucid Motor’s manufacturing presence in Casa Grande and expansion into Coolidge demonstrate how investment can reach across community boundaries. For Greater Florence businesses, regional growth presents opportunities to serve new residents, build supplier relationships, and meet demand for goods and services. Large employers are only part of the story. A strong local economy also depends on the restaurants, shops, contractors, professional services, and independent businesses that serve a community every day. Supporting existing businesses and helping entrepreneurs take their next steps are essential to building prosperity that lasts.
PINAL COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Florence’s historic character is an economic asset. Its downtown, cultural experiences, and community gathering places give residents and visitors reasons to spend time here. Preserving that identity while encouraging thoughtful reinvestment can support local commerce, strengthen the visitor experience, and create opportunities for new businesses. Tourism and economic development work together when a visit becomes a return trip, a business idea, or a decision to call Florence home.
Another potential catalyst is Opportunity Zones 2.0. Governor Katie Hobbs has nominated the census tract encompassing downtown Florence for consideration under the next generation of the federal program, which encourages long-term private investment in eligible communities. If certified by the U.S. Treasury, the designation could help attract investment in business growth, redevelopment, and the reuse of historic properties. For Florence, this presents an opportunity to connect downtown revitalization with economic development while preserving the character that makes the community distinctive.
and organizations such as the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce helps ensure that business perspectives remain part of that conversation. The strongest results come when regional goals and local priorities reinforce one another. For Greater Florence, the opportunity is to build on what already makes this community distinctive while preparing for what comes next. Whether you are growing an established company, exploring a new venture, or considering an investment, the Pinal County Economic and Workforce Development.Department is prepared to support the town’s efforts. Together, we can help turn opportunity into a stronger local economy and a thriving future for Florence. Learn more at pinal.gov/ed.
Preparing residents for opportunity is equally important. Through regional partnerships involving employers, Central Arizona College, and ARIZONA@WORK Pinal County, workforce development helps connect education and training with business needs. A competitive economy requires both places for companies to grow and people prepared to succeed in the jobs they create. Growth also requires coordination. Transportation, utilities, workforce availability, and community services all influence where and how investment occurs. Working across jurisdictions and with private partners helps communities identify priorities, address challenges, and prepare for future opportunities. Pinal County’s approach brings business attraction, expansion, workforce development, and community partnerships together. Collaboration with local leaders

A D I S T R I C T B Y D E S I G N : W H Y FA M I L I E S C H O O S E F L O R E N C E U N I F I E D
When a family chooses where to call home, one of the first questions is often, “What are the schools like?”
That is what we mean when we say FUSD is A District by Design, Not by Chance.
But the answer is about more than test scores, programs or buildings. It’s about whether a child will be known. Whether they’ll discover something they’re passionate about. Whether they’ll graduate believing they have a future fi lled with possibilities.
We intentionally design learning experiences around the needs of today’s students while preserving something that has always mattered in Florence: a strong sense of community.
That’s what makes a school district part of a community. For more than 100 years, Florence Unified School District has been part of the story of Florence. Today, FUSD serves families throughout Florence, San Tan Valley and Queen Creek, providing students with opportunities from preschool through graduation. What makes Florence Unified special isn’t simply the number of programs we offer. It’s the belief behind everything we do: every student deserves the opportunity to discover their potential and fi nd their path to success.
M O R E WA Y S T O D I S C O V E R W H AT ’ S P O S S I B L E
Every student has different interests, strengths and dreams. That’s why opportunity at FUSD can look different for every child. Students have access to Career and Technical Education, technology-rich learning, athletics, music, visual and performing arts, clubs and extracurricular activities. Elementary students have access to free, fullday kindergarten, and FUSD also offers preschool opportunities for young learners.
G R E AT E R F L O R E N C E C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E
23
E D U C AT I O N All three of our high schools offer Advanced Placement (AP) and/or Dual Enrollment courses, giving students opportunities to earn college credit, challenge themselves academically and build confidence for what comes next. Imagine graduating from high school with college credits already earned or even an associate’s degree. At FUSD, that’s possible.
And for students preparing for life after high school, the possibilities can begin long before graduation.
24
FLORENCEAZCHAMBER.COM
Through our partnership with Central Arizona College, students can work toward industry-recognized credentials and college degrees while still in high school, including a Hotel & Restaurant Management Certificate, Culinary Certificate and second-year Hotel & Restaurant Management Associate’s Degree.
E D U C AT I O N Maybe they’ll find their voice on a stage, make lifelong friends on a team or discover a career interest that changes the way they see their future. Maybe they’ll earn college credit before they graduate. Or maybe they’ll find a teacher who sees something in them that they haven’t yet seen in themselves. Those moments matter. One of the things that makes FUSD special is the relationships built inside our schools. We want students to be known not simply by a student identification number, but by their name, their interests, their strengths and their dreams. We believe parents should have a voice. We want teachers and families working together. And we want students to feel safe, supported and challenged to become the best version of themselves. FLORENCE
- A COMMUNITY
T H AT I N V E S T S I N I T S S T U D E N T S
That’s more than a class on a schedule. It’s a head start. Whether a student dreams of attending a university, entering the military, learning a skilled trade, pursuing a career in technology, competing athletically, developing a talent in the arts or discovering a career they never knew existed, we want them to graduate with a plan for what comes next. At Florence Unified School District, #OpportunityAwaits for every student. And opportunity isn’t limited to the classroom. It’s About Knowing Your Child. Maybe your child will discover a love of engineering.
A school district is more than a collection of campuses. It is part of the fabric of the community. Our schools are places where families gather, students discover their passions, teachers build lifelong relationships and community partners invest in the next generation. For parents, choosing a school is also about finding a place where they feel connected, informed and welcomed. It’s knowing there are people who will answer questions, listen to concerns and celebrate a child’s successes along the way. For businesses, strong schools are part of a strong community. And for families considering where to put down roots, the opportunity for their children to learn, grow and build meaningful relationships matters.

25
E D U C AT I O N
That’s why our schools are part of Florence’s story and an important part of its future. WHY
FUSD?
Because we believe education should be personal. Because we believe every student should have the opportunity to discover what they love, what they’re good at and where those strengths can take them. Because we believe students deserve choices and pathways that prepare them for college, career and life beyond high school. And because we believe a great school district helps make a great community.
Because choosing a school is about choosing more than a classroom. It’s about choosing a community that will be part of your child’s story. For more than a century, generations of students have grown up in Florence Unified. We are proud of that history, but we are even more excited about what comes next. From preschool through 12th grade, Florence Unified School District is proud to offer a wide range of opportunities for every student. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the stage, on the field or beyond, there is a place for students to explore their interests, discover their strengths and find their path.

F L O R E N C E P O L I C E D E PA R T M E N T Nestled in a historic and vibrant community spanning 62 square miles and home to nearly 27,000 residents, the Florence Police Department is a steadfast pillar of safety and service. At the helm is Chief Matthew Thomas, who has now led the department for just over a year as the Chief, bringing a steady vision for community-focused and intelligence driven policing to guide our mission. Supporting the Chief are two Commanders, overseeing and ensuring effective operations and day-to-day activity for the department. This year, their leadership team grew to five Sergeants, with the addition of a fi fth Sergeant now serving in an administrative role overseeing training, compliance, professional standards, Tasers, and body-worn cameras. Our department is made up of 26 sworn Officers, including two School Resource Officers (SROs) now serving in our high school and elementary school, and two Detectives, all who tirelessly patrol the streets, respond to calls, investigate criminal activity, and engage with the community to maintain peace and order. In addition to our sworn Officers, our department is strengthened by a dedicated team of civilian staff,
including two Code Enforcement Officers who ensure cohesive and comprehensive community service and compliance. A Records team that includes two Records Clerks. Our Evidence Technician, and a part-time Analyst, all of whom meticulously manage essential documentation, handle evidence with precision, and provide the data needed to properly serve our residents. Our dispatch operations center serves both Fire and Police, staffed by eight dispatchers and one Dispatch Supervisor. These men and women serve as the critical first point of contact for emergency calls across both departments. The Florence Police Department stays connected to the community it serves. Officers work directly with the Town Council, the school district, local businesses and local faith-based organizations to keep communication open and build the kind of trust that makes a difference on the street, not just on paper. Four shifts cover the town around the clock, so help is never far away. It’s part of a broader commitment, and one that is shared across the department—to serve Florence with respect, compassion, and trust, and to keep it one of the safest communities in the state.

M C FA R L A N D S T A T E H I S T O R I C P A R K Step into McFarland State Historic Park and you’ll step back in time. Built in 1878, this historic building has, through the years, embraced several important functions within its adobe brick walls. As Pinal County’s first courthouse, it now boasts the reputation of being Arizona’s oldest courthouse that can be toured. The original sheriff ’s office houses a well-stocked visitor center, featuring local, area, and state information. The courtroom is dedicated to Ernest McFarland, the namesake of the park. One of Arizona’s most important statesmen, “Mac” has the honor of being the only American to have served his state in all three branches of the government. He is also known as a Father of the G.I. Bill, having drafted provisions for educational and business loans. Upon construction of the town’s next courthouse in 1892, the building became the county hospital for approximately 50 years. Visit our hospital display and let your mind wander back to medicine at the start of the 1900’s. The building subsequently became Public Health, then a museum, and in the 1970’s Ernest McFarland bought and donated it to the state as a historic park.

CA S A G R A N D E R U I N S NAT I O N A L M O N U M E N T Casa Grande Ruins Reservation was created on June 22, 1892, by order of President Benjamin Harrison to protect a one-of-a-kind remaining Casa Grande or “Great House.” As a result, Casa Grande became the first prehistoric and cultural site to be established in the United States. The 480-acre reservation boundary changed in 1909, but retained the same acreage. An act in 1926 reduced that area to 472.5 acres. Some controversy has occurred over the years about the exact name of the monument. Originally, it was set aside as Casa Grande Ruins Reservation. In 1918 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed it to be Casa Grande Monument. Subsequent congressional acts in 1926 and 1930 called it Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. Some National Park Service personnel have held that the national monument proclamation of 1918 should determine the name, but on the basis of the later legislation combined with a legal opinion and desire by monument management to be known as Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, the National Park Service Chief Historian recommended on December 17,1991, that it be recognized as Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.

The significance of Casa Grande Ruins lies in its prehistoric past when the builders and inhabitants achieved a sophisticated culture. Casa Grande fell within the heartland of an extensive prehistoric agricultural society. The Hohokam (a Pima Indian term meaning “those who have gone,”) with their lengthy canal irrigation system, were masters of the desert. The Casa Grande is a four-story building as large as a castle and equal to the largest church in these lands of Sonora. Close to this Casa Grande are thirteen smaller houses, somewhat more dilapidated, and the ruins of many others, which make it evident that in ancient times there had been a city here. Jesuit padre Eusebio Francisco Kino wrote: “On this occasion and on later ones I have learned and heard, and at times have seen, that further to the east, north and west there are seven or eight more of these large old house and ruins of whole cities, with many broken metates and jars, charcoal, etc.” From that point onward, the Great House received a notoriety that caused many travelers to come to behold this work of a mysterious people and to speculate on its origins and meaning.

FLORENCE — During the summer, there are not many pleasant opportunities to explore Arizona’s desert landscape. “Bringing the Outdoors In” is Pinal County’s way of celebrating Parks and Recreation Month safely during some of the hottest days of the year. “Our parks and trails will remain open, but that doesn’t always mean it’s safe to hike. Summer heat in the Sonoran Desert can be dangerous. We strongly encourage visitors to avoid hiking in the heat. No view is worth it,” said Jasmine Guillen, administrative manager for Pinal County Open Space, Trails & Regional Parks. The next “Bringing the Outdoors In” presentation will be held from 4-5 p.m. on Thursday, July 16, at the Arizona City Library, 13254 S. Sunland Gin Road. Others are set for 4:30-6 p.m. July 23 at Coolidge Public Library, 160 W. Central Ave., and 1-3 p.m. July 24 at Kearny Public Library, 912-A Tilbury Drive. These presentations are designed to promote enjoyment of the Sonoran Desert and be educational
