Pony

Pony was a gold-mining town settled in the 1860s and named for miner Tecumseth Smith, nicknamed Pony for his small size. A 1920 fire destroyed many buildings, and by the 1950s it was called a ghost town, though some residents remain. The 192-acre Pony Historic District, on the National Register since 1987, includes about 95 contributing buildings such as the neoclassical Morris State Bank and the Pony Bar.
