A failed referendum was held in 1975 to incorporate Warrington as a town.〔()〕 Despite falling outside of city limits and having a post office explicitly named "Warrington",〔(http://www.city-data.com/zips/32507.html ) ''city-data.com''〕 mail going to the addresses in the Warrington ZIP code (32507) falls under the jurisdiction of Pensacola. Naval Air Station Pensacola is located in Warrington (albeit with their own ZIP code, 32508, which corresponds to the mailing city "Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL"). ==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 at he 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),〔(''The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, Being the History of the United States Vol. VIII'' ), p. 99. James T White & Co, 1898 (digitized by Google 22 Jun 2007, from original held by New York Public Library)〕 "created two villages, Warrington, and Woolsey outside the navy yard for homebuilding."〔Johnson, Jane, "Santa Rosa Island - A History (Part 2)", page 3.〕〔http://www.navarrepass.com/graphics/SRI_history.pdf〕 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warrington, Florida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
