Williams, who purchased the land in 1876, and by Peter Demens, who was responsible for bringing the Orange Belt railroad terminus to the city in 1888 With almost 360 days of sunshine per year, Saint Petersburg has become a popular retirement destination. However in recent years, the city has moved towards a more youthful tendency.
