Washerwoman's Creek (or Washerwoman's Bayou) was a small freshwater spring that ran through what is now downtown Pensacola. Originating on Gage Hill, it ran southwesterly to Pensacola Bay (near the modern-day Trillium property), serving as a sort of western boundary to the early Spanish and British settlements in that area during the eighteenth century.
Spring Street, which runs nearly parallel to its former path, is named for it.
