History
Mongo was originally called Mongoquinong, and under the latter name was laid out in 1840.[4] Mongoquinong was later shortened to Mongo. Although An Illustrated Historical Atlas of LaGrange County, Indiana (1874) translates the native name as "Big Squaw Village", it is thought to be a corruption of the Miami-Illinois maankwahkionka, meaning "In the Loon Land".[5]
The John O'Ferrell Store was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[6]
