'''Garden Street''' is a major east-west thoroughfare in downtown Pensacola. It serves as the original dividing line for all the city's north-south streets.
Under the British city plan drawn up around [[1764]] by [[Elias Durnford]], each individual building lot in the city was issued a companion piece of ground along what was then the northern border of the town. These lots were cleared, and each family tried to grow a portion of its food supply. A thoroughfare developed along this long row of gardens and was fittingly called Garden Street.
