Punkeydoodles Corners is an unincorporated hamlet in southwestern Ontario, in Canada, known for its strange name[1] and frequent sign theft.
Most claims date back to an inn and tavern located at the Corner during the late nineteenth century.
[1] Other stories link the name to an old Victorian nursery word for frittering away time, or a nickname given to a lazy pumpkin farmer by his irritated wife.
The most prominent moment in Punkeydoodles Corners history was Canada Day 1982, when Joe Clark was present for festivities.
[2] While the spelling and punctuation vary in common usage, the version recognized by both Statistics Canada and the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base is "Punkeydoodles Corners".
