It was named after Saint Petersburg, Russia, where Peter Demens had spent half of his youth. A local legend says that John C. Williams and Peter Demens flipped a coin to see who would have the honor of naming the city. Peter Demens won and named the city after his home, while John C. Williams named the first hotel after his birthplace, Detroit. The Detroit Hotel still exists downtown.

В городе находится музей Сальвадора Дали. Маленький, но коллекция музея вроде самая большая после испанской.



В музее находится известный портрет Линкольна, который Дали зашифровал под диковинным названием "Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at a distance of 20 meters is transformed into the portrait of Abraham Lincoln"



Вблизи видим силует Галы, жены и музы художника. На расстоянии 10-20 метров уже видим портрет 16-го американского президента.
