History
In 1807, Ponzano, Paderno, and Merlengo—three frazioni (subdivisions) located a few kilometers North of the city of Treviso—formed the Comune di Ponzano, which then became Ponzano Veneto in 1869.
It is likely that there was some kind of inhabitation in antiquity, due to the fact that the area that is now Ponzano Veneto was crossed by via Postumia, the Roman road connecting Genoa and Aquileia.
