'''Gadsden Street''' is an east-west street in south Pensacola, named for [[James Gadsden]]. Primarily a residential street, Gadsden traverses the [[Old East Hill]] and [[East Hill]] districts, and continues into [[West Pensacola]]. Gadsden also extends into [[East Pensacola Heights]] east of [[Bayou Texar]]. Gadsden Street is named in honour of [[James Gadsden]]. Before streets north of [[Wright Street|Wright]]/east of [[8th Avenue]] were named, that part of Gadsden Street was '''4th Street'''.
Gadsden's current western terminus is best set at a small segment which runs west of [[Lynch StreetArlington Drive]] in [[West Pensacola]]. East of that point, although there are two short, unconnected spans is a small segment signed Gadsden just west which intersects only with [[Foye Street]]; with the main span of the street beginning at [[LynchStreet]]. From Lynch, Gadsden travels easterly, with interruptions between [[Kirk Street|Kirk]] and [[Grandview Street]]s and [[Tarragona Street|Tarragona]] and [[Hayne Street]]s (for [[Interstate 110]]), to Bayou Texar. Gadsden picks up again on the east bank of Bayou Texar and travels easterly five blocks to its eastern terminus, southeast of [[Chipley Avenue]], at [[Pensacola Bay]].
The original bridge spanning [[Bayou Texar]] was aligned with Gadsden Street, whereas the current bridge carries [[Cervantes Street]].
