'''Gadsden Street''' is an east-west street in [[downtown Pensacola]]. Primarily a residential street, Gadsden traverses the [[Old East Hill]] and [[East Hill]] districts, and continues into [[West Pensacola]]. 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 Street]] in West Pensacola, although there are two short, unconnected spans signed Gadsden just west of Lynch. From Lynch, Gadsden travels 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]].
