Cevallos Street currently runs for just three blocks, from its southern terminus at East Zaragoza Street north to East Romana Street. It is part of a primarily residential block.

Historically, Cevallos Street continued north past Romana and terminated at East Wright Street, where it continued north as Eighth Avenue.

The street is named for Pedro Cevallos, Secretary of State under Spanish Kings Charles IV and Ferdinand VII.

In British Pensacola, what is now Cevallos Street was called Gloucester Street.[1]
