Skeldon grew around a historic sugar estate into a border trading settlement where daily life revolves around communal transit and open market commerce.

Newcomers staying for several months find an absence of commercial apartment developments. Lodging is limited to a handful of basic family guesthouses within the town, leading many visitors who require modern hotel amenities to commute from New Amsterdam.
