Leota is an unincorporated community in Finley Township, Scott County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. Originally called Finley Crossroads after John Finley, an early settler, Leota, Indiana is described as being rich in agrarian culture. Two of Scott County's oldest roads, Cincinnati Trace and Brownstown-Charlestown Rd intersect where there is now a covered bridge. The community was named for the first postmaster's daughter who died when she was only two years old. At one time there was a general store, a canning factory, a post office in Leota and eleven one room schools in the township. The post office ran from 1884 to 1901.
