'''Washerwoman's Creek''' (also called '''San Gabriel''' 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]] (west of [[Barcelona Street]], near the modern-day [[Trillium property]]), serving as a sort of western boundary to the early [[Second Spanish period|Spanish]] and [[British period|British]] settlements in that area during the eighteenth century. The spring has been covered by development for many years, but there remains an outlet just east of [[Reus Street]].
[[Spring Street]], which runs nearly parallel to its former path, is named for it.
