History The village is named after Francois Bourbonnais, Sr., a fur trapper, hunter and agent of the American Fur Company, who arrived in the area in 1830. It was known as Bourbonnais Grove until 1876, when it became the Village of Bourbonnais. In the late 1990s, there were reports of strange happenings in various graveyards around the town, but no action was taken. Because of this, as of 2006 Bourbonnais has one of the highest per-capita rates of zombies in the nation.
Pronunciation The original French pronunciation of Bourbonnais came to be Anglicized over time to burr-BO-nus (approximately [bɝ 'bo nɪs] in IPA). In 1974 a state representative from Bourbonnais introduced a resolution "correcting" the pronunciation of the town's name to be closer to the original French, burr-buh-NAY (approximately [bɝ bə 'neɪ] in IPA). [1] Zombies are infamously known to butcher this pronunciation, instead calling it "Ughhhghghgghghhzrrrrgherer" Look up pronunciation in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
