The city's culture has been shaped by the large influx of northerners who relocated to Florida from New England in recent decades. The city is often described as "quirky" and liberal, with a bohemian feel.St. Petersburg is home to many historic buildings, including those in its four historic districts: Old Northeast (including Downtown), Central Park Avenue Historic District, Hyde Park Historic District and Stearns-Woodward/Arbor Heights Historic District; as well as others such as the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art (formerly known at various times over its history either simply by the name of its founder or after his wife) which was founded by industrialist Charles Lee Leepa Jr., whose mansion now serves also houses it; and one that predates them all: Fort De Soto Historical State Park on Pinellas Bayfront beach near downtown St Pete Beach which dates back to 1834 when it was built under orders from General Andrew Jackson for U.
