Florence is an unincorporated community in Paint Township, Madison County, Ohio, United States. It is located along U.S. Route 42 between London and South Charleston.[2]

Florence was never platted; the community simply grew around a station built on the Pennsylvania Railroad.[3] As of 1915, the community contained one grain elevator, one general store, the railroad station and freight depot, and only a few houses.[3]
