Dodge Junction

Dodge Junction, or Dodge City, is a town in Equestria that is first featured in the season two episode The Last Roundup. It is located in the middle of the desert and bears an old-western theme similar to Appleloosa. The town's name is a reference to Dodge City, Kansas, a town famous in the United States for its role in the wild frontier of the Old West.__TOC__
