It lies 8.4 miles south of Pearl, MS (from Pearl, MS: bearing 180°T), and is situated 6.9 miles east-south-east of Byram.

Life in Florence moves with a deliberate, unhurried cadence, a testament to the enduring character of its people, who seem to carry the quiet resilience of the land itself. Florence's roots are entwined with the agricultural heritage of Rankin County, a place where cotton once reigned supreme and the land was worked with a deep, often arduous, connection. While the agricultural economy has evolved, remnants of that past remain visible in the sprawling farms and the enduring spirit of self-sufficiency. The local economy now also finds footing in a mix of small businesses and services that cater to the needs of its residents, fostering a sense of close-knit interdependence. Though not a hub of grand historical monuments, Florence possesses a quiet dignity, its history etched not in imposing structures but in the collective memory of its inhabitants and the enduring rhythm of its daily life, a place where community bonds are as vital as the fertile soil.
