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'.
