ST. ANDREWS

Approved March 23, 2021

Locally found artifacts attest to the fact that Native Americans have been in St. Andrews for at least 13,000 years. The Panama City Commission recognized the need to revitalize St. Andrews in 1989 and in 1997, St. Andrews joined the inaugural Waterfronts Florida Program. The vision for St Andrews preserves the character of historic fishing while adding new mixed use buildings on vacant and underutilized lots. The Krewe of St. Andrews hosts a vibrant annual Mardi Gras celebration and parade.
