Florence was built as a transportation center, with three railroads including a small railroad depot for the trains that hauled coal from the neighboring towns of Rockvale and Coal Creek. After a small oil discovery north of Canon City at Oil Spring, commercial quantity oil was discovered near Florence in 1862, Florence became the first significant oil center west of the Mississippi.
The Florence, Colorado Territory, post office opened on May 8, 1873, and the Town of Florence was incorporated on September 13, 1887. The city was named after Florence, the daughter of local settler James McCandless. After incorporation, the town grew rapidly.
