The town of Tignish, on Prince Edward Island, Canada, is founded in the late 1790s by nine francophone Acadian families.
Further immigrants (mostly Irish) will arrive in the nineteenth century and will settle mostly in the nearby smaller locality of Anglo–Tignish (meaning "English Tignish").
Many of Tignish residents today are either of Acadian or Irish heritage.
