1529. Georigius Agricola je opisao korištenje fluorita kao fluks.

1670. Heinrich Schwandhard je uočio da je staklo izloženo fluoritu tretiranom sa kiselinom gravirano.

1810. francuski znanstvenik André-Marie Ampère je predložio da je fluorovodična kiselina spoj vodika s novim elementom.

Element je konačno izolirao Henri Moissan 1886. Od latinske i francuske riječi fluere, teći ili tok 107 1981 Peter Armbruster, Gottfried Münzenber and their co-workers. Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. The origin of the name is Niels "Bohr", the Danish physicist.

Fluorine is highly toxic and corrosive

Fluorine reacts violently with water to produce oxygen

Compounds of fluorine, including sodium fluoride, are used in toothpaste and in drinking water to prevent dental cavities.

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) now serve as replacements for CFC refrigerants.

Fluorine and its compounds are used in processing nuclear fuel.
