| |
− | | |
− | The city limits were originally set by [[Andrew Jackson]] in [[1821]] with an area of 9.75 square miles. This was increased to 17.2555 square miles in [[1953]].<ref>http://www.cityshowcase.com/pensacola/</ref> Other areas have been annexed since then, such as in the 1980s, when the area including [[Cordova Mall]] was incorporated into the city.<ref>"City eyes annexation of areas." ''Pensacola News Journal'', May 17, 2005.</ref> The city now occupies 22.7 square miles. However, there is a movement to annex more unincorporated urban areas of Pensacola to better represent the actual metropolitan area.
