 The borough is built around a heart-shaped lake called Nuangola Lake.The name "Nuangola" probably derives from an Algonquian language, which was spoken by the indigenous Native Americans of the area (most likely the Delaware, the region's largest tribe, although some Nanticoke and Shawnee also lived there at the time).According to legend, a Native American maiden named Nuangola is believed to have drowned in the lake.
