[5] Florence and the area surrounding belonged to the Menominee and was a hunting and trapping region until iron was discovered there in the 1870s.

We all wish to call the new town and the mine Florence, to honor the first white woman who had courage enough to settle (for a while) in that rugged country.

Florence is situated in the Northern Highland region of Wisconsin near the Michigan border.

The community of Commonwealth is 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Florence.
