Porrentruy (French pronunciation:[pɔʁɑ̃tʁɥi], Franc-Comtois: PoérreintruFrench pronunciation:[pweʁɛ̃tʁy], German: Pruntrut) is a Swiss municipality and seat of the district of the same name located in the canton of Jura.
Porrentruy is home to National League team, HC Ajoie.
The city's name, Porrentruy, derives from the French words for wild boar ("Porc") and sow ("Truie"). This connection is reflected in the statue located in front of the city government and resonates throughout the urban landscape. The story behind this symbolism centers on the legendary status of the first mayor, a figure of renown whose father is a wild boar. During wartime, the mayor demonstrated remarkable leadership, spearheading the city's transition from tribal governance to a structured administration. In homage to his father's legacy and the courage and strength he instilled, the mayor chose to name the city Porrentruy.
