The City of Florence, Alabama was founded in 1818 on
the banks of the beautiful Tennessee River in the scenic
Northwest corner of Alabama. Florence, Muscle Shoals,
Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and two counties, Lauderdale and
Colbert, comprise the Shoals area.
Florence and the Shoals has a population of over 140,000
and offers the experience of a small Southern town,
including a generous helping of Southern hospitality,
with all the amenities of a large city. Florence boasts
a state-of-the-art
conference center, a beautiful
marina and harbor, a restored
downtown area, a beautiful
municipal golf course, a
first-class university and a new
library that cities many times the size of Florence
would envy.
The Shoals is situated on the beautiful Tennessee River
and is the closest metropolitan area to the mouth of
the Tennessee-Tombigbee
Waterway. The market boasts a convenient port
facility where imports can be cleared locally by
the U.S. Customs Service. Located just 40 miles from
Interstate 65, the Shoals is also home to Northwest
Alabama Regional Airport, a full service facility
with commercial air service. In addition, the Shoals
is located on the Norfolk Southern Rail line and the
switching yard for most major southern rail companies
is located in the market.
