Piggotts, also known as St Mark's Village, is a village inSaint George Parish onAntigua island inAntigua and Barbuda. It had a population of 1,478 in 2001.
It is located in the north of the island, to the east of the capital city ofSt. John's.
In the late 1850s and early 1860s a school was built in what is now Piggotts to provide education to the poorer residents of the nearby sugar estates of Carlisle, Fitches Creek, Weirs, Gunthorpes, Paynters and Cassada Gardens. This school was centrally located so all of the residents of the estates would have easy access to the school.[1]
Circa 1864, Richard Albert Louden Piggott (1844-1926) from Newgate Street in St. John’s City, moved to this area. Piggott had so many children, that the area eventually became known as “Piggotts Village”.[1]
The village had a rivalry with Osbourn Farm, especially incricket. The two villages were separated by a gap, but when the affordable housing projectHappy Hill was constructed from the 1950s to the 1970s, the villages became connected, and the rivalry slowly ended.[1]
The town is landlocked and has no sea access, and borders the town ofOsbourn.
The town is home to the Antigua & Barduda International Islamic Society Masjid, one of the only mosques in Antigua and Barbuda, as well as
