Gadsden Street

Gadsden Street
West end:	West of Arlington Drive
East end:	East of Chipley Avenue at Pensacola Bay

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/east of 8th Avenue were named, that part of Gadsden Street was 4th Street.

Gadsden's current western terminus is a small segment which runs west of Arlington Drive in West Pensacola. East of that point, there is a small segment signed Gadsden which intersects only with Foye Street; with the main span of the street beginning at Lynch Street. From Lynch, Gadsden travels easterly, with interruptions between Kirk and Grandview Streets and Tarragona and Hayne Streets (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.
