63. Sint Maarten

Part of St Martin, the world's smallest inhabited island shared by two countries (the other country, confusingly, is also called St Martin). Peter Stuyvesant, the last mayor of New York under Dutch rule, acquired the nickname 'Peg Leg Pete' on the island after being struck by a Spanish cannonball. He later founded Broadway.
