Pony Named in Honor of Miner
In the desert valley near Pony a prospector nicknamed Pony Smith pursued mining gold across multiple camps. His discoveries sparked Pony Creek’s diggings and the Strawberry mine, leading to the town of Strawberry near Pony. By 1877 the town site was laid out, as Clipper and Boss-Tweed mines yielded about five million dollars over four decades. Jesse Barker, longtime resident of Old Town Three Forks, is noted in the narrative.
