Talk:City of Pensacola annexations
I have a ton of articles about the various attempts that I will try to fill in soon. Just getting the table set up tonight. — admin • talk 00:04, 18 October 2009 (CDT)
Slight discrepancy
In one of the table items, you have the phrase "15th Street" directing to Lakeview Avenue; Lakeview was 16th Street, and 15th was Avery Street. — dscosson • talk 18:52, 19 October 2009 (CDT)
- Are we sure about that? There was a map in one of the articles, and the street labeled 15th seemed to line up with modern-day Lakeview, but I wasn't 100% sure. — admin • talk 22:54, 19 October 2009 (CDT)
- Yep. The numbers refer to streets north of Wright. Belmont was 1st Street. Count your way up :-) This is also reflected on the Watson map [1] which lists Avery as "formerly 15th" and Lakeview (which was then Stoddart) as "formerly 16th." — dscosson • talk 09:13, 20 October 2009 (CDT)
- Okay, I'll change it. On the map I saw, Chipley Avenue was "1st" and the streets went up from there, but there must have a shift over the years. Thanks! — admin • talk 10:15, 20 October 2009 (CDT)
- I think you're thinking of the EPH plat map [2]. I think the EPH streets were numbered separately, as EPH was not in the City when it was platted. You're right, there is a shift of minus one there because Belmont Street does not exist in EPH and the numbering started at Chipley (which would otherwise be la Rua). — dscosson • talk 10:32, 20 October 2009 (CDT)
- So it could be Lakeview after all? I can scan the map from the newspaper article when I get home. If EPH streets were numbered separately, then it's the EPH numbering that is relevant here, since that's where the annexation boundaries were being drawn. — admin • talk 11:08, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

Non-electoral annexations
There are a few non-electoral annexations that it doesn't look like are on your list... I'm not sure if they're large enough to merit additions, but I wanted to note them. — dscosson • talk 11:30, 25 October 2009 (CDT)
- Ordinance #41-58, adopted June 12, 1958, describes the annexation of the following area:
