Stamps of France were used in Martinique from 1851, and the French colonies general issues from 1859.
The first stamp of Martinique was issued on 18 July 1886, overprinting "Martinique" on the French colonies general issues.[1][2] In 1892, the first definitive set, the French colonial series, was issued. A series of pictorial stamps issued in 1908 featured local themes.
Martinique has used the stamps of France since becoming an overseas region in 1974.
