Harold Brasington knew what he
was doing in 1949 when he started pushing dirt around an old peanut field. With
every lap those graders and bulldozers completed, the Darlington Raceway slowly
came to life. Today, the track's specifications remain true to Mr. Brasington's
vision, save a few minor adjustments.

Florence Destination Overview
|
Welcome to Florence, “A City
of Character”. Conveniently located at the intersection of two major Interstate
highways, this South Carolina city is easily accessible and a world of fun. In 1997, Florence became
a finalist as an All-American City, and it’s no wonder why. The city is
brimming with history, character, and Southern charm. Chartered in 1871 and
incorporated December 24, 1890, the original township formed as a railroad
terminal.
The town was named after Florence Henning Harllee, the daughter of
William Wallace Harllee, the first president of the Wilmington & Manchester
Railroad. Today, Florence continues it’s growth with an ever
expanding population. The City of Florence is a fine
example of a genteel, Southern city: mid-sized, yet large enough to boast of a
variety of things to see and do. Whether it’s the performing arts, fun
attractions, museums or sports, all are present in Florence. Still, the City is
small enough to preserve a small-town feeling with tree-lined streets and parks
and a pleasant lifestyle that citizens enjoy.
Residents exude a strong sense of
community pride and Southern hospitality to visitors. With a moderate climate year
round, any time is a good time for a visit. Summer tends to be a busy time of
year as tourists make their annual north/south vacation journey. With
temperatures during this time averaging near 80, it’s a perfect time to take
advantage of the many activities, historic sites, and attractions that are
available. Fall and spring do bring a change of season, complete with a new and
inspiring color scheme.
The weather remains comfortable
The city has a variety of
experiences, both indoors and out, for everyone. Taking a stroll through any of
the parks is always a pleasure, particularly McLeod Park. Not only is a walk
enjoyable, the park also offers a swimming pool, fishing pond, lighted tennis
courts, ball fields, picnicking and more. For history buffs, a worthwhile trip
is a visit to the National Military Cemetery. This site serves as a burial
ground for Union soldiers who died in prison in Florence during the War Between
the States.
For more history of the War, the War Between the States Museum
offers a walk into the past. The museum invites visitors to learn and read
about the role played by Florence in the Civil War. For a unique experience and
just a short drive away, plan a day at Darlington Raceway. This nationally
recognized raceway is sure to get the adrenalin pumping. Of course, a relaxing meal at
one of the many fine local restaurants is always a fine and enjoyable option.
Whether visiting for business
or pleasure, just passing through or staying for a weekend or longer, this true
Southern historic and beautiful city awaits its visitors with a style all its
own.
