'''New City''' was the name of an 1830s development that was planned for the area east of the contemporaneous [[Pensacola city limits|city limits]] to [[Bayou Texar]].
The plan, as depicted in an [[1836]] plat by [[G. E. Chase]], called for 117 full city blocks with 30 residential lots each, plus several other partial blocks. Six additional blocks were allocated for public parks named America Square, Columbus Square, Jackson Square, Cabot Square, Galvez Square and Leon Square.
Promoted by the '''New City Company''', the development ultimately fell through. The land later became the neighborhoods of [[Hawkshaw]] and [[East Hill]].
