St Petersburg was build by the Russian Emperor Peter the Great at 1703 and was for over 200 years the capital of the Empire until 1918 after the Russian Revolution of 1917.
The movement of the headquarters of the Russian Empire to St. Petersburg allowed that city to become a forward capital. This led to economic and strategic growth of the city.
Tsar Peter the Great built St. Petersburg from scratch on land taken from the Swedes. Even before it was completed, Peter moved his court from Moscow to St. Petersburg making it the capital of the Russian Empire until after the 1917 October Revolution.

When World War I began, its name was considered too German and it was changed to Petrograd. After the death of Vladimir Lenin, it became Leningrad for the rest of the Communist Regime. In 1991, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a referendum vote led to the restoration of the name St Petersburg.
