Florence County, Administrative county in northeastern Wisconsin, United States
Florence County spans 488 square miles of land, featuring 265 lakes and 165 miles of rivers along the Michigan Upper Peninsula border.
The county emerged in 1882 from parts of Marinette and Oconto Counties after H.D. Fisher discovered iron deposits in the Florence mine during 1874.
The territory belonged to Menominee Native Americans who interacted with Chippewa tribes before European settlers arrived in the nineteenth century.
The Florence County Courthouse provides administrative services, including marriage licenses and property tax records, from Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM.
Florence County contains no incorporated communities and maintains public ownership of over fifty percent of its territory for recreational activities.
