St.
Martin was discovered and named by
Columbus in 1493. In the early 17th Century, the French and Dutch
arrived, built small settlements and eventually drove the Spanish off
the island. Divided between two countries for 350 years now, St.
Martin/St. Maarten is harmoniously shared by the French and the Dutch.
The border between north and south is all but invisible, and in most
ways...St. Martin/St. Maarten is simply a strikingly beautiful
neighborhood with two distinct cultures.
