==History==
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.}}
The name "Cushman's Alley" was derived from [[Cushman's Drug Store]].<ref>''Early Vital Records of Pensacola, Florida''. West Florida Genealogical Society (1989). Sidney P. Thomes, Editor.</ref>
The alley is depicted, but not labelled, on the [[Sanborn Maps#1884|1884]] and [[Sanborn Maps#1892|1892 Sanborn Maps]], and depicted and labelled "De Reache St." on the [[Sanborn Maps#1903|1903 Sanborn Maps]].
