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 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 in cricket. The two villages were separated by a gap, but when the affordable housing project Happy Hill was constructed from the 1950s to the 1970s, the villages became connected, and the rivalry slowly ended.[1]
