Our St. Martin Story

we triumphed over slavery with emancipation in the mid 1800s[1];

we built a buoyant tourism economy in the latter half of the twentieth century;

we expanded the areas of Philipsburg[2], Marigot[3] and Simpson Bay[4] by reclaiming land in the Great Salt Pond, the Marigot Bay and the Simpson Bay Lagoon;

we recovered from the devastation of 7 hurricanes in the second half of the 1990s; and

we achieved significant constitutional reforms in the first decade of this century[5].
