| |
− | Previously called '''Cushman's Alley''' or '''De Reache Alley''', it was established as a City street, called '''DeLuna Street''', by ordinance in [[1906]]:
| |
− | {{cquote|''The thoroughfare ... now known as Cushman's Alley or Dereache Street, is hereby declared to be a street to be known as DeLuna Street, and the City hereby assumes full control of and obligations for the maintenance and use of the same as a street.|20px|20px|Legal notice, ''Pensacola Journal'', March 31, 1906.}}
| |

− | Upon its establishment as as a city street in 1906, the street was 15½ to 16½ feet wide and permitted only one-way southbound traffic. Upon assuming ownership of the street, the City agreed not to construct sidewalks or allow the erection of utility poles on the street.<ref>Legal notice, ''Pensacola Journal'', March 31, 1906.</ref>
