Ladoga, Indiana Ladoga, Indiana Ladoga is a town in Clark Township, Montgomery County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. The population was 985 at the 2010 census. Ladoga was platted in 1836 by John Myers. Myers invited his friends to help him find a name. He required that the name not end in -burg or -ville and that it would not be named after another town. He chose Ladoga after finding Lake Ladoga on a map of Russia. In 1837, the town's post office was established, which still operates today. In 1840 there were fifteen buildings in Ladoga, including two large stores
Finnish Ladoga Naval Detachment Germany transferred four MAL-type ferries - "M-31", "M-32", "M-33" and "M-34" - originally intended for use on Lake Peipus, to the Finns on Ladoga. The Finnish Navy also transferred several small run-down naval vessels to the lake, the motor torpedo boats "Syöksy", and "Vinha", which were no longer in adequate condition to carry torpedoes. Lake remained mostly quiet until Soviet offensive of 1944 started. While Finnish naval forces on the lake remained passive during the Soviet landings at Tuloksa on 23 June they did play key role in facilitating the Finnish evacuations from the eastern shore of the lake Ladoga.
