The Florence City Company, formed in 1849, organized the original layout of lots and streets in Florence. It also oversaw construction of the Florence Hotel and wharf.[23] The Florence Iron Works was established in 1857 along the Delaware River by Richard Jones.[24] It continued as a major force in the economy of the community, especially after ownership was transferred to Richard D. Wood in 1867.[23] The 1900 United States Census reported that a good portion of the workforce was dependent on the foundry.[25]

Florence was soon recognized as an attractive vacation spot with sandy beaches.[23] Visitors could also partake of hydrotherapy offered by a center established about 1872 by Dr. Trall of Philadelphia.[23]
