Pain Court

Pain Court (pronounced pan corr by non-francophones; often incorrectly spelled Paincourt) is a historically French-speaking agricultural village in southwestern Ontario, Canada, in the municipality of Chatham-Kent.

Pain Court was founded when English and French-speaking squatters from the Detroit, Michigan, area began to settle the indigenous lands along the lower Thames River in the region in the 1780s.

[citation needed] Located in Pain Court, Laprise Farms Limited has become the largest producer of brussels sprouts in Canada as of 1998.

[citation needed] Along with the annual Pain Court Truck and Tractor Pull, the community hosted the 2018 International Plowing Match.

[citation needed] The Conseil scolaire catholique Providence (CSC) operates Francophone Catholic schools serving the community.
