Welcome to St. Petersburg!
St. Petersburg, Florida was founded in 1888 and incorporated on February 29, 1892. Here are some facts about St. Petersburg-

  • St. Petersburg operates the largest recycling system for water in the United States (twenty million gallons per day).
  • One of the area bridges, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, is 4.1 miles long and has a 200 foot main span.
  • St. Petersburg is home to six museums- The Florida International Museum, Salvador Dali Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of History, the Florida Holocaust Museum, and Great Explorations Hands On Museum.
  • It is also home to one of the nation's premier newspapers, the St. Petersburg Times. We receive this newspaper in our classroom three times a week, and Gretchen Letterman as well as her Newspapers in Education staff helps us with our school newspaper staff.
  • St. Petersburg is home to The Pier as well.
