dbo:abstract	Volga is an unincorporated community in Smyrna Township, Jefferson County, Indiana. The name's origin is not known with certainty, but is believed to have been adopted from Volga in Russia. There were no Russian settlers in the area so the reason is not known. Volga was not platted as a town and was never separately enumerated in federal censuses. It was defined primarily by the existence of a post office and a school. The post office operated from May 29, 1856 until July 14, 1904. The first postmaster was William J. Chambers. School trustees purchased a tract in the area on March 11, 1844 for the erection of a school house. A school house that was still standing in 1989 was built in 1870. In the immediate neighborhood is the Hopewell Baptist Church, a stone building constructed in 1848. The History of Hopewell Baptist Church shows that the organizing meeting was held on May 16, 1829 at the house of Robert Ford. The first worship was held in July 1829 at Volga. The church, which still meets, is located at 3078 N Thompson Rd., Madison. The 1890 Indiana Gazetteer and Business Directory provided the following description: "A village of 100 inhabitants in Smyrna township, Jefferson county, 9 miles northwest of Madison, Jefferson county, the county seat, nearest shipping point and bank location. Mail tri-weekly. George Wallace, postmaster." (en) 沃爾加（英語：Volga）是位於美國印地安納州傑佛遜縣的一個非建制地區。該地的面積和人口皆未知。 (zh)
