Flores is the canton number 8 of the province of Heredia, Flores is the smallest canton in the country and it's part of the Greater Metropolitan Area.

The main economic activity of the canton is the cultivation of coffee, there is also an industrial area closeby. 

The canton of Flores is part of the geomorphic unit of Volcanic Origin, represented by the volcanic filling of the Central Valley. 

The archaeological pieces found in what is now the canton of Flores, confirms that it was inhabited by natives of the so-called Huetar kingdom of the West, whose chief was Garavito, territory that was part of the region that was named during the Colony as Barva Valley, where some farms of Spanish laborers were formed, coming mainly from Carthage.

The place is based on what was called in that period as the Llano del Alto de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad de Barva, located between Quebrada Seca and Río Segundo, which in 1777 was acquired by public auction, held in Guatemala la Nueva, by Mr. Francisco Antonio Pérez. The measurement in these areas was carried out on February 26 of that year; resulting in an area of ​​25 cavalries, 210 and two thirds of ropes and four square rods. Enough problems arose due to the demarcation of these lands by those who had rights in the territories adjacent to Las Ánimas de Cartago (now the 3rd Asunción district of the canton of Bethlehem) and the Barva Indians.
