FLORENCE,
A post office of Switzerland county, beautifully situated on the banks of the Ohio river, in Switzerland county, 10 miles below Patriot and 9 above Vevay by the river. It was laid out in the year 1818 by Benjamin Drake, under the name of New York, which name it retained until about the year 1845, when it was changed to that of Florence. It was a healthy location, and is surrounded by a very fertile section of country, inhabited by moral, industrious, intelligent, and enterprising farmers, whose stalworth frames and sinewy hands burden the capacious warehouses of the town with the products of their farms.

The place has four stores, a school house and church, and there is a saw and flouring mill and distillery now being erected, is a point of very considerable commercial importance for the size of it, especially is it noted for buying and shipping of produce to distant markets. In the single article of wheat alone there is about thirty-five thousand bushels shipped annually to Cincinnati and other points, which, however, will now be manufactured into flour principally at home. Apple, potatoes, hay, pork, and other articles are shipped in proportion. The population is about 500.
