History

Ponca was established in 1856 and is Nebraska’s fourth oldest town. It was named for the Ponca Indian tribe native to the region. Ponca was incorporated as a village in 1871.

Ponca experienced growth when the Covington, Columbus and Black Hills Railroad was extended to it in 1876.

Ponca also hosts one of the oldest rodeos in Nebraska, called the “Days of ‘56” to honor the founding members of the community. The rodeo is held at the town’s rodeo grounds during the last full weekend in June. The 2018 rodeo marked the 50th anniversary of the event.
