The Community of Tignish
Settled in 1799 by eight Acadian families and joined in 1811 by two Irish families, Tignish retains and celebrates its French/Irish roots and has since become a successful fishing and farming town and a service and commercial centre serving the surrounding rural area. It is home to over 800 people.
