History
Warrington is named for Lewis Warrington, who served as Secretary of the Navy, and who helped choose the area that became Naval Air Station Pensacola. He served as the first commandant of the newly created Navy Yard, 1826–1827.
Warrington was created shortly after the Pensacola Navy Yard's 1826 foundation. Commodore Melancthon Taylor Woolsey, the second commandant of the Navy Yard (1827–1831), "created two villages, Warrington, and Woolsey outside the navy yard for homebuilding." Warrington was between the yard and Fort Barrancas. The town was relocated north of Bayou Grande in the 1930s to make additional space available for the expanding Naval Air Station.
