The post office for a place named Carrizo was opened September 9, 1886, with the name changed to Florence on April 9, 1890, the location being just over the line in New Mexico. It was, along with a place called Mineral, one of only two significant settlements in the area of the pre-statehood Oklahoma Panhandle. in 1893. At the time Oklahoma became a state (on November 16, 1907), it served as the temporary county seat for Cimarron County. The building now known as "The Merc" served as the temporary courthouse and held the county records. The citizens of the county voted to move the seat on June 11, 1908, to Boise City.
