Saint Petersburg: The Sunshine City

In 1875, General John Williams came from Detroit and bought 2,500 acres of land on Tampa Bay. He envisioned a grand city with graceful parks and broad streets, the trademark of today's St. Petersburg. The city's first hotel was named after his birthplace, Detroit. Thirteen years later, Peter Demens, a noble Russian aristocrat, brought the Orange Belt Railway and re-named the city after his birthplace, St. Petersburg, Russia.

The city is located on a peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It is connected to the mainland to the north, connected with the city of Tampa, Florida to the east by causeways and bridges across Tampa Bay, and to Bradenton, Florida in the south by the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, which transverses the mouth of the bay. With an average of 360 days of sunshine each year, it is nicknamed "The Sunshine City." For that reason, the city is a popular tourist and retirement destination, especially for those in the United States from colder Northern regions.

Today, the downtown core continues its revitalization with projects that include retail shops, restaurants, and movie theaters. More than 900 events bring over 10 million people each year to the sunshine city to experience yacht races, triathlons, baseball, basketball, cycling, cultural exhibits, and music. The city easily attracts tourists with its cultural district that includes seven museums in the downtown district. Historic neighborhoods continue to be restored, as residents invest in their communities with a great source of pride. Young and old, tradition and innovation come together to create a vibrant sense of community in Saint Petersburg.
