Florence, AZ 85132 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

Florence was founded in 1866 by a Civil War Veteran who recognized the importance of a ford over the Gila River. The post office was opened the same year and the town soon became a major grain supplier for the army and trading point for nearby mines and smelters. This was prior to the existence of Phoenix. Florence is the county seat for Pinal county and the location of several state and private prisons. The town population is 23,000 and declining as the city has stagnated. The post office is a single story brick building with a deeply over hanging roof to provide shade from the desert sun. It is still quite active, handling mail for the citizens and the county. The address is 501 N MAIN ST. FLORENCE, AZ 85132-9998

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
