  • In the late 1940s, National Route 731 was built through the town, which had, by that time, nearly become a ghost town, due to people moving away to larger communities. La Ponderosa was "spared" from becoming a ghost town during the second half of the Twentieth Century, due to the construction of National Route 731 at the end of the first half of the century and Dragoonasag Interstate Route 92 nearby in the 1960s. In December 1990, the town's government outlawed alcoholic beverages within the town limits. The ban was lifted in November 1999 after numerous complaints and protests from the townspeople who felt that the ban infringed on their rights. The Town Council proposed a smoking ban in January 2004. The proposal died later that year. During the 2006 Lohana governor elections, Most of La Ponderosa's residents voted for Ryan Hadler, and then-mayor Wilbur Flean declared the town a "Hadlerist community". Four percent of the registered townspeople voted to keep Wilmer Planoff in office, feeling the troubled ex-governor was simply "a victim of lies told by the media".
