In 1872, Father A. J. Houser, Director of the Homestead Society of Cincinnati, Ohio founded St. Florian.

Many of the descendants from that small group of immigrants still live in the community, some in the original homes. Other descendants are scattered throughout the United States. The St. Florian Historic District was included in the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in September 2007.
