What year is it in Ponyville?

I remember someone posting somewhere on the internet posting a timeline for FiM that goes back to the founding of Equestria, roughly about 4000 years before Nightmare Moon's return. Currently (you can argue this with other Bronies) each season is about a year, so you can call 4002AF (After found), 1002AB( after Luna's banishment) or 002FM (Friendship is Magic or Faust Moon or something like that)

Honestly?

Nopony knows the answer to that except Twilight Sparkle(since she's such an avid reader of books and all), and she probably will have trouble telling you the answer to your question. I would be willing to guess the '80s or '90s, but I'm not 100% sure.

itssss....2017! :D

Well looking as how the place is seen, I think of looks like 1880s because in Ponyville and Canterlot it looks like when technology was barely beginning. An example would be that there machines and stuff but very few and well also they use candles for light and fireflies not lamps with light bulbs, electrical appliances, or anything like that.

Somewhere in the early 1900s. This is because they have trains by this point, not to mention it is a very industrialized era, so it must be early 1900s

I guess they just picked a year and added things from different eras.. My guess is late Medieval Equestria.. Renaissance or Age of Discovery.. Idk.. Probably a bit too early, but yeah.. Or like the others said, the 19th or 18th century..

1889.

The short answer is that we'll never know until they give a year. We can't guess based on human years, because as we've seen, their technology has taken completely different paths to advance then ours did. And even if they took the same path, who's to say that they were developed within the same time-frame as human technology?
