The town is situated on a narrow stretch of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. It functions as the commercial center of Saint Martin island, whereof Sint Maarten encompasses the southern half. {{As of|2011}}, it has 1,327 inhabitants. HistoryPhilipsburg was founded in 1763 by John Philips, a Scottish captain in the Dutch navy; the settlement soon became a bustling centre of international trade. Two historic forts bear witness to Philipsburg's strategic importance in St. Maarten's history: Fort Amsterdam and Fort Willem.[2]
ClimatePhilipsburg has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw),[3] and is drier than most parts of the northeastern Caribbean due to a rain shadow from the island’s mountains, drying the northeast trade winds. The driest months are from January to July, and the wettest from September to November, when hurricanes are a frequent occurrence in the region. {{Weather box|location = Philipsburg, Sint Maarten (Princess Juliana Airport) 1971–2000 |metric first = yes |single line = yes |temperature colour = pastel |Jan record high C = 32.7 |Feb record high C = 31.6 |Mar record high C = 32.6 |Apr record high C = 33.6 |May record high C = 33.5 |Jun record high C = 33.9 |Jul record high C = 34.2 |Aug record high C = 35.1 |Sep record high C = 34.8 |Oct record high C = 34.3 |Nov record high C = 33.9 |Dec record high C = 32.1 |year record high C = 35.1 |Jan high C = 28.6 |Feb high C = 28.7 |Mar high C = 29.2 |Apr high C = 29.8 |May high C = 30.4 |Jun high C = 31.3 |Jul high C = 31.6 |Aug high C = 31.7 |Sep high C = 31.6 |Oct high C = 31.2 |Nov high C = 30.2 |Dec high C = 29.2 |year high C = 30.3 |Jan mean C = 25.5 |Feb mean C = 25.4 |Mar mean C = 25.7 |Apr mean C = 26.5 |May mean C = 27.4 |Jun mean C = 28.2 |Jul mean C = 28.3 |Aug mean C = 28.6 |Sep mean C = 28.5 |Oct mean C = 28.2 |Nov mean C = 27.3 |Dec mean C = 26.1 |year mean C = 27.2 |Jan low C = 23.2 |Feb low C = 23.1 |Mar low C = 23.5 |Apr low C = 24.1 |May low C = 25.1 |Jun low C = 25.2 |Jul low C = 26.1 |Aug low C = 26.2 |Sep low C = 26.0 |Oct low C = 25.7 |Nov low C = 24.9 |Dec low C = 23.9 |year low C = 24.8 |Jan record low C = 18.6 |Feb record low C = 19.2 |Mar record low C = 19.5 |Apr record low C = 19.3 |May record low C = 20.2 |Jun record low C = 22.3 |Jul record low C = 22.1 |Aug record low C = 21.4 |Sep record low C = 22.0 |Oct record low C = 22.1 |Nov record low C = 21.2 |Dec record low C = 20.0 |year record low C = 18.6 |rain colour = green |Jan rain mm = 66.0 |Feb rain mm = 50.7 |Mar rain mm = 45.2 |Apr rain mm = 64.0 |May rain mm = 93.3 |Jun rain mm = 61.8 |Jul rain mm = 71.6 |Aug rain mm = 98.8 |Sep rain mm = 139.6 |Oct rain mm = 113.0 |Nov rain mm = 149.3 |Dec rain mm = 93.8 |year rain mm = 1047.1 |unit rain days = 1.0 mm |Jan rain days = 11.9 |Feb rain days = 9.3 |Mar rain days = 9.0 |Apr rain days = 11.8 |May rain days = 10.3 |Jun rain days = 8.4 |Jul rain days = 12.2 |Aug rain days = 13.9 |Sep rain days = 13.5 |Oct rain days = 13.8 |Nov rain days = 14.8 |Dec rain days = 13.3 |year rain days = 142.0 |Jan humidity = 74.7 |Feb humidity = 74.1 |Mar humidity = 73.6 |Apr humidity = 75.0 |May humidity = 75.9 |Jun humidity = 75.1 |Jul humidity = 74.8 |Aug humidity = 75.4 |Sep humidity = 76.3 |Oct humidity = 76.8 |Nov humidity = 77.4 |Dec humidity = 76.6 |year humidity = 75.5 |Jan sun = 257.2 |Feb sun = 235.2 |Mar sun = 271.6 |Apr sun = 265.4 |May sun = 251.0 |Jun sun = 245.1 |Jul sun = 257.2 |Aug sun = 288.1 |Sep sun = 232.4 |Oct sun = 244.6 |Nov sun = 235.0 |Dec sun = 246.7 |year sun = 3009.4 |Jan percentsun = 73.5 |Feb percentsun = 72.7 |Mar percentsun = 72.2 |Apr percentsun = 70.6 |May percentsun = 62.4 |Jun percentsun = 62.0 |Jul percentsun = 63.2 |Aug percentsun = 67.7 |Sep percentsun = 62.8 |Oct percentsun = 67.0 |Nov percentsun = 68.3 |Dec percentsun = 71.4 |year percentsun = 67.8 |source 1 = Meteorological Department Curaçao[4] |date=August 2010 }} TourismThe main shopping district, Front Street, is in the heart of the city. The city also has a port that is visited by many cruise liners, such as ships like Celebrity Solstice, Crown Princess, Disney Magic, since 2010, Oasis of the Seas & Anthem of the Seas, and since 2018, the Symphony of the Seas or MSC Divina. TransportPrincess Juliana International AirportWorld-famous for its close photographs of landing aircraft, Princess Juliana International Airport (IATA: SXM, ICAO: TNCM), west of Philipsburg, has become a tourist destination in its own right. Jet blast from departing aircraft is another 'attraction' as it creates artificial waves. However, jet blast is physically hazardous so viewers need to exercise caution; local authorities placed a warning on the airport's fence to alert people to the dangers of jet blast.
