The city was founded on July 15, 1892 by John S. Templeman and Henry Plant, two businessmen from Clearwater who were looking for a place to build a railroad depot and shipyards. The original name chosen for the city was "Pinehurst", but this was changed after Plant's wife suggested " Saint Petersburg" as it sounded more Russian than Clearwater. The city began to grow rapidly after World War I as businesses moved in to take advantage of the naval base and shipbuilding facilities that were available. By 1925, Saint Petersburg had reached its present population of over 200,000 people.
