Saint Martin Collectivity of Saint Martin (French: Collectivité de Saint-Martin), commonly known as simply Saint-Martin is an overseas collectivity of France in the West Indies in the Caribbean, on the northern half of the island of Saint Martin, as well as some smaller adjacent islands.[6] Saint Martin is separated from the island of Anguilla by the Anguilla Channel.[7] Its capital is Marigot.

Saint-Martin shares the 87 km2 island of Saint Martin with the Dutch Sint Maarten. The island is divided roughly 60:40 between France (53 km2) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (34 km2), but the Dutch part is more populated than the French. Divided since 1648, the northern French part comprises the Collectivity of Saint Martin and is an overseas collectivity of France. The southern Dutch part comprises Sint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

With a population of 31,477 as of January 2021[4] on an area of 53.2 square kilometres (20.5 sq mi),[3] it encompasses the northern 60% of the divided island of Saint Martin, and some neighbouring islets, the largest of which is Île Tintamarre. The southern 40% of the island of Saint Martin constitutes Sint Maarten, which has been a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands[6] since 2010 following the dissolution of Netherlands Antilles. This marks the only place in the world where France borders the Netherlands.

Before 2007, the French part of Saint Martin was a commune belonging to the French overseas department and region of Guadeloupe. Despite seceding from Guadeloupe in 2007 and gaining more autonomy as an overseas collectivity of France, Saint Martin has remained an outermost region of the European Union and is part of the eurozone. For statistical purposes, it is still included in the NUTS 2 (FRY1) and NUTS 3 (FRY10) of Guadeloupe by Eurostat.

Etymology: Due to confusion on early maps, the island was accidentally confused with Nevis and given the name Christopher Columbus had originally given that island in honor of Saint Martin of Tours, when he first sighted Nevis on the saint's feast day on 11 November 1493. 'Sint Maarten' is Saint Martin in Dutch.

Due to confusion on early maps, the island accidentally got the name intended for Nevis by Christopher Columbus in honour of St Martin of Tours because he first sighted it on the saint's feast day on 11 November 1493. . The indigenous name for the island is Aloi meaning 'cashew island' (origin Arawak).

Saint-Martinois Cuisine:

St. Maarten’s style of cuisine has been developed over many years and has been influenced by various cultures found all over the world such as the French, Dutch, African, Latin-American, British, East Indian, and Creole cultures. St. Martin has been considered by many as the “culinary capital of the Caribbean” because of the vast number of influences that shape the island’s gastronomic scene. The cuisine found in Saint Martin truly tells the story of the diversity of the people on the island, the sunny tropical climate, and the cheerfulness of the natives.

Typical dishes would include goat water, conch stew, Johnny cakes, funchi, pastechi, columbo curry and coconut pie. Modern dishes include Accras de Morue made with cod and/or fish roe, Bokits: a French style sandwich, Buljawou: Saltfish with plantains dusted with cinnamon; Locri: a chicken and rice dish similar to risotto and Columbo a French-style curry of meat and vegetables.
