Location Name History
Paincourtville
was named, tradition says, after an early traveler was unable to buy a
single loaf of bread there and called the area “short of bread town”.
St. Elizabeth Church & Bell
Paincourtville is home to St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, built in 1840, which is known for its large church bell which is set in special steel scaffolding outside of the church as it is too large for either of the church’s two towers.
