St. Martin/St. Maarten, a tropical island in the northeast Caribbean, has been shared by the French and the Dutch for almost 350 years. Eilandgebied Sint Maarten, the southern Dutch half, is part of the Netherlands Antilles. Collectivité de Saint-Martin, the northern French half, is an overseas collectivity of France. The city with the highest population is on the French side but more people live on the Dutch side.
