The first settlers of the island named the island, “Soualiga” which translates to the “Land of Salt.” In honor of the salt industry and the workers the government of St Maarten erected this group of statues and called it the “Salt Pickers.”
The Salt Picker monument is in the Philipsburg area of St Maarten / St Martin.
