The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Poneto was originally known as Worthington, and under the latter name was platted in 1871. The name Poneto was likely chosen by its residents for its uniqueness, as there was no other town in the country with the name. The post office at Poneto has been in operation since 1881.
