The History Of Florence Oregon

Florence, Oregon named the #1 retirement community in the U.S.A.
by "Retirement Places Rated" located in Central Oregon

Early settlers arrived by stage along the coast. There were no roads to the more populated inland areas. For several decades the river was the highway. Mailboats and school boats provided supplies and transportation. The railroad came through in 1914 and opened inland trade routes.

The Siuslaw Bridge was completed in 1936 and Florence became an important stop for Highway 101 travelers.

A popular, diverse and rich "playground" destination, Florence is fortunately situated amid the Oregon Dunes and Siltcoos Recreation areas, providing a
host of outdoor activities.

Florence is located midstate along US Highway 101 on the Oregon Coast where the Siuslaw River meets the Pacific Ocean after a journey adjacent to a scenic highway and past the sand dunes. Oregon Highway 126 leads to Florence from Eugene, Oregon's second largest city.
