History


The community has the name of the local Ponder family.[5]

Local legend holds that Bonnie and Clyde either robbed the Ponder State Bank or attempted to rob it, only to discover it had gone broke the week before. However, this is not listed in the Barrow Gang's activities.[6] The robbery in question may have been committed by the less famous but more successful Eddie Bentz.[7]
