Pony, Montana
Pony is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in northeastern Madison County, Montana, United States on the eastern edge of the Tobacco Root Mountains. It includes the  Pony Historic District, a historic district with 95 contributing buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The town gained its name from the nickname of one of its early miners, Tecumseth Smith, a small man nicknamed "Pony" because of his diminutive size.

Mining operations declined in the early 20th century and all were closed by 1922. A number of historic buildings from Pony's boom era remain in the old town today. Major buildings are managed, voluntarily, by The Pony Homecoming Club, a non-profit organization that maintains the town's public spaces. Montana Highway 283 passes through town. It is about 6 miles from Harrison. Former Montana Lieutenant Gov. Karl Ohs owned a ranch in Pony. Demographics
