About Florence

Florence is the county seat of Florence County and a major city in South Carolina's Pee Dee region. Its location at the junction of Interstates 20 and 95 gives it a strong transportation role, and its economy has shifted from rail and farming toward health care, education, logistics, and services. Florence is home to Francis Marion University and Florence-Darlington Technical College. The city has regional weight: it is not just a stop on the interstate, but a practical hub for northeastern South Carolina.
