History

Named after Saint Martin, Sint-Maartensdijk was founded as 'Haestinge', and renamed when it got a church dedicated to Martin of Tours. The first lords of Sint-Maartensdijk resided at Sint-Maartensdijk Castle which was demolished in 1819. The castle was located just north of the town walls, and its southern moat is still visible.

Sint-Maartensdijk was a separate municipality until 1971, when it was merged with Tholen.[3]
