St Petersburg

St. Petersburg was founded in 1888 and then incorporated on February 29th, 1892. But then June 6th, 1903, the city was reincorporated, and this beachfront and bayfront city saw dramatic growth. Today’s population hovers around 270,000. The nickname for St. Petersburg is “The Sunshine City” because it broke the world record for the most consecutive days of sunshine at 768 days.
