Tilting is a town on the eastern end of Fogo Island off the northeast coast of Newfoundland. The community has been designated as a National Historic Site of Canada, and was also designated as a Registered Heritage District by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador. Tilting was first settled by the French in the late 1600s, however over time it became an exclusively Irish enclave beginning with the first settlers from Ireland in 1752. The former name was Tilton Harbor. The population was 393 in 1940 and 401 in 1956.
