No fewer than three different charter documents have been used before, and there have been unsuccessful efforts at several points in Pensacola's history to propose the adoption of alternate charters.

===[[1916]] referendum===
{{main|Pensacola City charter referendum, 1916}}
In [[1913]], the City of Pensacola adopted a new charter and transitioned to a [[Wikipedia:City commission government|city commission government]]. In [[1915]], the Florida Legislature appointed a "Charter Board" to study that charter and recommend any necessary revisions. The Charter Board recommended that the City return to the previous [[Wikipedia:Mayor-council government|mayor-council government]], and a referendum was held to decide the issue. The initiative failed by a large margin and the commission government was retained until [[1931]].
