The Tigurini were a clan or tribe forming one out of four pagi (provinces) of the Helvetii.

The Tigurini were the most important group of the Helvetii, mentioned by both Julius Caesar and Poseidonius, settling in the area of what is now the Swiss canton of Vaud, corresponding to the bearers of the late La Tène culture in western Switzerland. Their name has a meaning of "lords, rulers" (cognate with Irish tigern "lord"). The other Helvetian tribes included the Verbigeni and the Tougeni (sometimes identified with the Teutones), besides one tribe that has remained unnamed.

The canton of Vaud is divided into 10 districts.

Seeland (lit.: Lakeland, also German: Drei-Seen-Land, French: Pays des trois lacs) is a region in Switzerland, at the south-eastern foot of the mountain range of the Jura Mountains containing the 3 Lakes of Morat, Neuchâtel, and Bienne (Biel). In previous eras, it was the floodplain of the Aare and was thus swampy. After major hydrological works (the Jura water correction), the area drained out and could support more cultivation. Seeland is one of the most important regions in Switzerland for growing vegetables, particularly in the Grand Marais (lit.: Large Marshland, German: Grosses Moos).

The region is at the boundary of the cantons of Bern, Fribourg, Neuchâtel, and Vaud, forming part of the linguistic boundary region between French- and German-speaking Switzerland.
