Pettigo is the only village on the island of Ireland to be divided by the international border, with the Termon River running through its middle separating County Donegal from County Fermanagh.
A village split by a river and a border
Pettigo sits on the border of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, bisected by the Termon River. The portion of the village in County Fermanagh is officially called Tullyhommon, though it's known locally as "High Street" for its hillside position overlooking the rest of the village on the Donegal side.
From sanctuary to smugglers' paradise
In Celtic times the area was known as "the place of the blacksmith," and in medieval Europe Pettigo marked the gateway to the Purgatory of St Patrick, from the Irish "An Tearmann," meaning "place of sanctuary." The 17th and 18th centuries turned it into a busy market place, and its frontier position later earned it a reputation as a smugglers' paradise, while the Battle of Pettigo in 1922 was one of the last significant actions of the War of Independence.
Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else
Pettigo's history is built on sanctuary, markets and a border running through its middle, not confectionery — so on the Fermanagh side, pick 'n' mix, bulk bags and trade cases arrive by delivery, the same as the rest of Northern Ireland and the UK.
