Hello, there are two I know of. One I live near now is in Far North Queensland Australia.
Kalura was a town on the Atherton Tableland that was flooded to make Lake Tinaroo. This huge dam actually started to dry up due to lack of rain about 2 years ago and the town's remains were able to be seen. A cricket match was held on the site of the now flooded town's pitch as a novelty.
The other I have not seen but my late father told me about it. His parents home was flooded along with the town to make was for a huge reserve of water. This is at Kremenchuk in the Ukraine. I have supplied links for you to see some particulars if you wish.
There are likely many others, but these are two I know of.
Hope this helps you.
Kind regards,
Lisa

"Deliberately flooded to create a lake" usually means a dam.
Pepacton Dam in Delaware County, NY is one.
You didn't specifiy whether the town would have been abandoned or occupied prior flooding. Some archaeological sites are now preserved underwater.

In the late 1930's, four towns in central Massachusetts were flooded, creating a public water supply. The towns were Dana, Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott.

In Westchester County, NY in order to create the reservoirs for New York City's water system, the town of Katonah was moved and the community of Kensico was bought and taken apart. One 3-story building was burned for a 1913 movie, maybe the world's first "towering inferno" fire/disaster movie.
