The population as of July 1, 2015, was 71.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Floriston was built by the Floriston Pulp and Paper Company in 1899 to house employees of their paper mill.&nbsp; It was said to be the second-largest paper mill in the world at its time, with 500 employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Floriston has a colorful past; being a major stop for the railroad in the 1800s. Its proximity to the Boca Ice Company (&#8220;Iceland&#8221;), where the trains were able to get ice for their shipments, and its large 52-room hotel with a spring-loaded dance floor, put Floriston on the map.&nbsp; An old postcard of Floriston displayed the cable bridge over the Truckee that allowed town access at one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the mill shut down, Floriston became a ghost town until a lawyer named Preston Wright from San Francisco bought the town. In 1947, he created the Floriston Property Owners Association, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, families have moved back to Floriston creating an eclectic, diverse, and proud community of well-educated, independent-thinking people who value rural living. The town is responsible for all services including water, road, and sewer provision. In 1995, Floriston became a Mutual Benefit Corporation. The old schoolhouse continues to be a place of town meetings and community events such as weddings, funerals, and general gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Floriston Property Owners Association<\/strong>&nbsp;provides water, sewer, and road services to 43 parcels in Floriston, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Association&nbsp;<\/strong>is managed by its Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Board of Directors<\/strong>\u00a0currently consists of Shannon Hawthorne, Gary Mapa, Libbie Henrie, Anthony Saraceno, and Myles Beyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Board meetings<\/strong>&nbsp;are held every second Tuesday of the month at 6pm, at the school house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Agendas<\/strong>&nbsp;are posted on this website at least 4 days prior to the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Road, Water &amp; Sewer<\/strong>&nbsp;reports are by year and month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interim financial statements<\/strong>&nbsp;are available in the &#8220;Treasurer Report&#8221; by year and month.
