Named for an influential businessman who contributed much to the development of neighboring Pensacola, Brent has seen a significant portion of the Florida panhandle’s history.
That history is evident in the town’s name, which over the decades has continuously changed from Bownsville-Brent-Goulding to West Pensacola. Regardless, Brent is a part of the Pensacola community separated by census designations alone, so if you live here, you’re part of one of the oldest European settlements in the present day United States. And those historic ties mean a lot to the proud residents in Brent and Pensacola. So much so, that in 2009 the city hosted a year long 450th birthday celebration to alert tourists and publicity to this almost forgotten chapter in their past. View Brent City Guide
