Ponjong is a historical city because the first Regent of Gunungkidul, Mas Tumenggung Poncodirdjo, came from this sub-district, then Suharto, Sumpeno, and Badingah (now-2018) from the line of Wasito Donosaroyo, his late husband. Reportedly the first Regent of Gunungkidul Regency was Raden Tumenggung Prawirosetiko. Then Gusti Purbaya or the younger brother of HB IX explained, based on Tepas Widyo Budoyo (archive of history and genealogy of the Yogyakarta Palace) asserted that the first Regent was Mas Tumenggung Pontjodirjo. The story says that Pontjodirjo's leadership began when Gunungkidul was still the capital city of Pati, Genjahan Ponjong. Before Pontjodirjo took the lead, the area was once led by the Regent (Eyang Mangun Kusumo), when the area was still part of the Solo region. His appointment as regent is believed to be after the war of Prince Diponegoro. While in charge, Pontjodirjo experienced eye pain (blind), so that as executor of government duties was entrusted to Panji Harjodipuro of Kepanjen Semanu. When the center of government was still in Ponjong, the demang and courtiers held deliberations almost always in Semanu. It was believed at that time that Semanu had become Kepanjen, a bustling area or city center. At that time Wonosari was still a forest called Alas Nongko Dhoyong. Because of that, there was an order from the Sultanate of Yogyakarta to replace the regent. Regent for the position of Panji Harjodipuro. However, Pontjodirjo was not ready. As is the prevailing culture, the replacement of leadership is based on age or after the leader to be replaced dies. After Pontjodirjo died, not long after that Panji Harjodipuro also died, so that his replacement was Raden Tumenggung Prawirosetiko, a Ronggo from Sumingkar (Sambipitu). Before he died, Pontjodirjo ordered him to be buried at his residence. Therefore, the current cemetery is believed to have been the residence and office of the Pati Regent during Pontjodirjo's leadership. He was the last regent in Pati and the first regent after the center of government moved to Wonosari. During his reign, the great legacy that Pontjodirjo did, was to move the center of government from Pati, Ponjong to Wonosari on orders from the Yogyakarta Sultanate. The transfer of the center of government occurred when there was a change in the territory of the Ngayogyakarta Sultanate. The Ngayogyakarta Sultanate, which was previously only the Bunder Forest to the east to the Mangkunegaran (Solo) border, has an additional area, namely Patuk. So it was felt that the location of the Regent's Office in Ponjong was too far to the east, not in the middle. The location which is considered to be in the middle for the center of government, is in a forest, namely Alas Nongko Dhoyong (currently Wonosari). The transfer of the center of government was entrusted to Panji Harjodipuro. The executor of Alas Nongko Dhoyong's tripe is Demang Wanapawira. The forest was successfully opened. (Kompas, KH,).
