An unofficial flag is used by the local government, which depicts the island's coat of arms on a white field. [2] Another unofficial flag that was used depicted a modern logotype, containing the name "Saint-Martin", with "Caraïbe Française" and "French Caribbean" written in small text below.
The island of Saint Martin was first spotted by Christopher Columbus on 11 November 1493 during his second voyage to the West Indies, and was named after Martin of Tours, whose feast day coincided with the sighting.
