About Philipsburg
Philipsburg is the main town and capital of the nation of Sint Maarten. The town is arranged on a tight stretch of the land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. It works as the business focus of the Saint Martin Island, whereof Sint Maarten incorporates the southern half. Starting at 2011, it has 1,327 occupants.
Philipsburg was established in 1763 by John Philips, a Scottish chief in the Dutch naval force; the settlement before long turned into a clamoring focal point of universal exchange. Two noteworthy fortresses give testimony regarding Philipsburg's vital significance in St. Maarten's history: Fort Amsterdam and Fort Willem. Philipsburg has a tropical savanna atmosphere, in spite of the fact that it is drier than most parts of the northern or eastern Caribbean because of a rain shadow from the island's mountains drying the upper east exchange winds.
The principle shopping locale, Front Street, is in the core of the city. The city additionally has a port that is visited by many luxury ships. World-celebrated for its nearby photos of landing air ship, Princess Juliana International Airport IATA: SXM, ICAO: TNCM, west of Philipsburg, has turned into a vacationer goal in its own particular right.
