'''Gadsden Street''' is an east-west street in south Pensacola, named for [[downtown PensacolaJames Gadsden]]. Primarily a residential street, Gadsden traverses the [[Old East Hill]] and [[East Hill]] districts, and continues into [[West Pensacola]]. Gadsden also extends into [[East Pensacola Heights]] east of [[Bayou Texar]]. Gadsden Street is named in honour of [[James Gadsden]]. Before streets north of [[Wright Street|Wright]]/east of [[8th Avenue]] were named, that part of Gadsden Street was '''4th Street'''.
Gadsden's current western terminus is best set at [[Lynch StreetFairfield Drive]] in West Pensacolabeyond the city limits. From there, although there are two the street runs easterly a shortdistance to [[77th Avenue]]. After an interruption of about 2.6 miles, unconnected spans signed Gadsden just Street resumes with two small segments, one running a short distance west of [[Arlington Drive]] and the other intersecting only with [[Foye Street]]; The main span of the Gadsden Street begins at [[Lynch. From LynchStreet]], Gadsden travels traveling easterly, — with interruptions between [[Kirk Street|Kirk]] and [[Grandview Street]]s and [[Tarragona Street|Tarragona]] and [[Hayne Street]]s (for [[Interstate 110]]), — to [[Bayou Texar]]. Gadsden picks up again on the east bank of Bayou Texar and travels easterly five blocks to its eastern terminus, southeast of [[Chipley Avenue]], at [[Pensacola Bay]].
The original bridge spanning [[Bayou Texar]] was aligned with Gadsden Street, whereas the current bridge carries [[Cervantes Street]].
