Florence, Arizona, was named after Florence, Italy, by an early settler, explorer, and miner named John E. H. "J. E. H." Harlow in the late 19th century. The name was chosen to honor his hometown, reflecting a common practice of settlers to name new locations after familiar places. The town was established in 1866 and became the county seat of Pinal County. Its rich mining history and agricultural development contributed to its growth in the following years.
