Depiction in the series
It is said in Winter Wrap Up that the city was founded by Earth Ponies, but all three races of ponies now live there. It is one of the main locations in Equestria, being one of the first founded pony towns. In Family Appreciation Day, it s told that the Apple family ancestors were the first to settle in Ponyville, while Granny Smith was still young. She and her family one day found themselves in Canterlot and Princess Celestia took notice on them. She gave them a small piece of land near the Everfree Forest, where they planted their first orchard. But one day they were low on food, to which one day Granny Smith ventured into it, and found a numerous amount of sap apple trees, when she returned home, and she and her dad planted the first sap apple seeds. Drawn in by the jam made by the sap apple fruit, other ponies started coming to the land, such as Stinkin' Rich, Diamond Tiara's grandfather. who started a small market with the sap apple jam as a product. Ponies established all kinds of buisnesses as the town grew and grew. Soon, Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth Ponies alike came together and founded Ponyville.

Features
Many public facilities in Ponyville include a large pavillion in the town square which also features a fountain, and a library which is the residence of Twilight Sparkle. It is noted that in various places on the Internet, it is referred to as the Golden Oak Library, but referred to with many other names in other public sources. There is also an old folk's home, called the Ponyville Retirement Village, mentioned in Luna Eclipsed, and shown in The Mysterious Mare Do Well. Applejack mentions in The Ticket Master that there is a road in town called Stirrup Street. As she is quite pleased she will win a bet with her brother, that he will walk down this road in one of Granny Smith's girdles, it can be assumed that Stirruop Street is a well-traveled or main road. Buisnesses in Ponyville include the Sugarcube Corner confectionery, where Pinkie Pie lives, and also where her parents work. There is also a restaurant with a very proper waiter pony, at which Twilight Sparkle eats and later gets her food wet, and Rarity's dress shop, called Carousel Boutique.
