|
St. Petersburg (often shortened to
St. Pete) is a city in Pinellas
County, Florida. The city is known as a vacation destination for
North American and European
vacationers. As of the 2000
census, the city population was 248,232. As of 2006, the population
estimate by the U.S.
Census Bureau is 248,098, making it the fourth largest city in the
state of Florida
and the largest city in Florida that is not a county seat. St.
Petersburg is the second largest city in the metropolitan area, which is composed
of roughly 2.7 million residents in the core, making it the second
largest Metropolitan
Statistical Area in the state.
The city is commonly referred to by locals as "St Pete"; neighboring St. Pete Beach, Florida formally shortened its name in 1994 after a vote by its residents. With a purported average of some 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 US from colder Northern climates.
