      • Juan de Ponte (ca. 1828 – ca. 1908) was interim Mayor of Ponce, Puerto Rico, from 5 January 1888 to 4 April 1888.


      Background


      De Ponte had been harbormaster at the Port of Ponce and was one of a group of citizens who labored extensively to bring a water pipeline from the Acueducto de Ponce in the city proper to serve the needs for potable water at Barrio Playa. He was recruited to serve as mayor from his work as a harbourmaster at the Port of Ponce.


      Mayoral term


      His mayoral tenure was from 5 January to 4 April 1988—a short 90 days. He was named provisional mayor of Ponce until a permanent mayor could be appointed. Nothing significant occurred during his 3-month stay as mayor. Upon De Ponte presenting his resignation, the Municipal Council presented three names for his replacement: Juan Seix, Luis Gautier, and Santiago Oppenheimer.
