The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The town of St. Pete Beach was consolidated from the municipalities of Pass-a-Grille, Don CeSar Place, Belle Vista, and St. Petersburg Beach in a 1957 referendum, in which consolidation won by a five-vote margin. At the time of its incorporation in 1957, its name was St. Petersburg Beach. On March 9, 1994, locals voted to change the official name to the shorter version of St. Pete Beach, to distinguish it from the city of St. Petersburg a few miles to the east.
