Talk:City of Pensacola annexations

I have a ton of articles about the various attempts that I will try to fill in soon. Just getting the table set up tonight. — admin • talk  00:04, 18 October 2009 (CDT)

Slight discrepancy

In one of the table items, you have the phrase "15th Street" directing to Lakeview Avenue; Lakeview was 16th Street, and 15th was Avery Street. — dscosson • talk  18:52, 19 October 2009 (CDT)

Are we sure about that? There was a map in one of the articles, and the street labeled 15th seemed to line up with modern-day Lakeview, but I wasn't 100% sure. — admin • talk  22:54, 19 October 2009 (CDT)

Yep. The numbers refer to streets north of Wright. Belmont was 1st Street. Count your way up :-) This is also reflected on the Watson map [1] which lists Avery as "formerly 15th" and Lakeview (which was then Stoddart) as "formerly 16th." — dscosson • talk  09:13, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

Okay, I'll change it. On the map I saw, Chipley Avenue was "1st" and the streets went up from there, but there must have a shift over the years. Thanks! — admin • talk  10:15, 20 October 2009 (CDT)

I think you're thinking of the EPH plat map [2]. I think the EPH streets were numbered separately, as EPH was not in the City when it was platted. You're right, there is a shift of minus one there because Belmont Street does not exist in EPH and the numbering started at Chipley (which would otherwise be la Rua). — dscosson • talk  10:32, 20 October 2009 (CDT)
