Florida Blanca Street, occasionally corrupted to Florida Blanco Street, is a north-south street in downtown Pensacola. It runs from Chase Street southerly to the Bay, terminating in a cul-de-sac just north of Bayfront Parkway.
It is likely named for the José Moñino y Redondo, conde de Floridablanca, the Spanish prime minister who prosecuted the war against Britain that returned Pensacola to Spanish rule.
British Pensacola[edit]
In British Pensacola, what is now Florida Blanca Street was called York Street.[1]
