Poissonhoz

Poissonhoz is a small, unincorporated community located in the eastern part of the canton of Jura, Switzerland. Its exact geographic position is within the municipality of Boncourt. The name "Poissonhoz" itself is of French origin and likely refers to a historical characteristic of the area, possibly related to fish or a local family name.

The area is characterized by its rural landscape, typical of the Jura region, with rolling hills and agricultural land. Like many small hamlets in Switzerland, Poissonhoz does not possess its own administrative or municipal governance, instead being administered by the larger municipality it belongs to, Boncourt. This means local services and infrastructure are managed at the municipal level.

Historically, the economy of such communities was often tied to agriculture and local crafts. While modern economic activities may have diversified, the rural character likely remains a significant aspect of life in Poissonhoz. Information regarding specific historical events or prominent figures directly associated with Poissonhoz is limited, as is common for very small settlements. Its existence is primarily noted within broader geographical and municipal records. The community is not a major tourist destination and is generally known to residents of the surrounding areas.
