==History==
{{main|Igilgili}}
Originally Phoenician, [[Igilgili]]
In July 1664, the [[Djidjelli expedition|French took the city]]. Resistance was organised under the direction of [[Shaban Aga]] and the French were driven out in October of the same year. Jijel remained a [[Barbary corsairs|corsair]] stronghold until recaptured by the French in 1839. Strong local resistance, finally subdued in 1851, resulted in the construction of three forts along its southern fringe as well as minimal colonisation. The original town was devastated by an earthquake in 1856.
