[[Gregory Street]] is an east-west street that stretches from [[Pensacola Bay]] to its western terminus at South [[Pace Boulevard]] (there is a one-block span signed Gregory west of Pace, between P and Q Streets; also a few blocks between New Warrington Road and Old Corry Field Rd). It briefly carries [[Highway 98]] traffic westward from [[17th Avenue]] and [[Bayfront Parkway]], past the [[Interstate 110]] on-ramp, to [[Alcaniz Street]]. It remains west-only until [[Tarragona Street]], then becomes two-way for the rest of its length. Gregory Street is named for [[Walter Gregory]].
 
In the late 1970s a new span of Gregory was constructed between [[9th Avenue]] and [[Tarragona Street]] in conjunction with the southerly extension of [[Interstate 110]]. This left a section of the "old" Gregory Street east of Tarragona as a cul-de-sac, which was renamed '''Gregory Square'''.<ref>Ordinance #18-80, City of Pensacola.</ref>
Prior to the renaming of streets in [[1906]], the portion of what is now Gregory Street in the west part of the City was called '''Havana Street''', '''Alston Street''', and '''13th Street'''.
