Saint Petersburg was founded in 1888 John C. Williams who owned the land and Peter Demens being the railroad to the area. To decide which bake the place get due an coin toss and the winner picked the name and the other naked the first hotel. Peter won and named it after his birthplace, the Russian city of Saint Petersburg, John wad born in Detroit and the hotel get that name. With an average of 361 days of sunshine it's attracted people to vine live here or go for an holiday. Saint Petersburg hold tbe record of 768 consecutive sunny days between 1967 and 1969 in the United States. So let's take an look at the flag.
The colourful flag had six colours five horizontal colours orange, red, green, blue and dark blue. Also white thin lines also known fimbriations and an semi transparent pelican. The orange en red symbolize the sunshine, the green the land and the blues for the Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The indigenous pelican stands for the concern of the environment. Maybe the flag is too colourful and the pelican to transparent, and drop an blue. Adjust the flag a bit and it work.
