- Where

In 1799, eight Acadian families settled the site that became the town of Tignish in Prince County, Prince Edward Island.
The settlement of Tignish dates to 1799, when eight Acadian families established themselves there. The community took root in Prince County on Prince Edward Island, and the town's name reflects the Mi'kmaq "Mtagunich," meaning "paddle." The supplied sources do not name individual founders, so no reconciliation against Person identities is possible from this evidence.
