Prior to the construction of the Bayou Chico Bridge in the late 1990s, the portion of Barrancas near Bayou Chico followed a slightly different course, crossing the bayou to the southeast, where [[Pace Boulevard]] currently terminates. This span of what was Barrancas Avenue still exists and is signed [[Old Barrancas Avenue]].
==Street origin==
Barrancas Avenue was not part of Pensacola's original street grid. In 1907, the [[Maxent Land Company]] offered to donate the necessary land if the City was willing to construct a road between [[Garden Street]] to [[Bayou Chico]], in order to connect with a road which Escambia County was constructing. The City accepted, and created Barrancas Avenue by ordinance on [[June 11]], [[1907]].
