HistoryLadoga 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.[5][6] In 1837, the town's post office was established, which still operates today.[7] In 1840 there were fifteen buildings in Ladoga, including two large stores selling general merchandise — one owned by Taylor Webster and one owned by William Nofsinger. By 1848, there were thirty families living in the town.[8] The Haw Creek Academy was built two miles south of Ladoga in 1838 by the Christian Church. In 1855, the Ladoga Female Seminary was established by the Baptist Church which quickly decided to allow male students, and shortly after the Ladoga Male Academy was established which soon allowed female students. (Both decided to let in the other gender because of financial concerns.)[9] Central Normal College was founded in Ladoga in 1876; it moved to Danville in 1878. The original building still stands in Ladoga. Known as Normal Hall, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[10]Ferris wheelThe town of Ladoga lays claim to the Chicago World's Fair Ferris Wheel.
