[[Downtown Pensacola]] is the economic, political and historical core of Northwest Florida. It is located in southern [[Escambia County]], centered at [[Palafox Street]] and [[Garden Street]], bounded to the south by [[Pensacola Bay]]. The other boundaries are more nebulous and open to debate, but [[A Street]] to the west, [[Seventeenth Avenue]] to the east, and [[Cervantes Street]] to the north (the legal boundaries of the [[Community Redevelopment AreaAgency]]) are probably the most inclusive borders. The [[Community Redevelopment AreaAgency]] and [[Downtown Improvement Board]], both "downtown" taxation districts, have their own, explicitly-defined boundaries.
The downtown area grew from the Spanish [[Panzacola]] settlement and its later successors, remnants of which can be found in the preserved homes and buildings of [[Historic Pensacola Village]].
