Ladoga is a town in Clark Township, Montgomery County, Indiana, United States. The population was 985 at the 2010 census. ==History== Ladoga was platted in 1836 by John Meyers. Meyers 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.〔History of Montgomery County, Indiana : with personal sketches of representative citizens. Indianapolis Ind.: A.W.
