Florence is a beautiful town located in the heart of the Pee Dee at the I-95 and I-20 exchange. With a population of approximately 31,000 residents, Florence has become a favorite for business expansion and retiree relocation.
As the hub of the Pee Dee, Florence's two hospitals, the Carolinas Hospital System and the McLeod Regional Medical Center, serve 12 counties. They are nationally known for their innovative and specialized patient care and have contributed significantly both to the quality of life and economic growth throughout the Greater Pee Dee Region of South Carolina.
As an educational center, Florence is the home of Francis Marion University, Florence-Darlington Technical College, and the newly opened Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology.
Along with the counties surrounding Florence, you'll find an abundance of fishing and hunting. Hunting clubs and preserves are numerous throughout the area and are easy to find. There are over 25,000 acres of public access to area State Parks and Forests. Area game includes lots of white-tail deer, turkey, hog, and game birds.
Devoted fisherman can enjoy their favorite sports on many of the local streams and lakes, including Jefferies Creek Park, Lynches River State Park and Santee Cooper Lakes. The lakes at Santee are nationally know for their bass, catfish and crappie fishing.
Being less than 75 miles from the coast, the inlets and beaches of the region make for excellent open water fishing. With the mild temperatures and the Gulf Stream warming the Atlantic throughout the winter, you can join the many who have made fishing a year-round hobby.
