===Origin of name===
The name ''Nuangola'' probably derives from an [[Algonquian languages|Algonquian language]], which was spoken by the indigenous [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] of the area (most likely the [[Lenape|Delaware]] (Lenape), the region's largest tribe. Some [[Nanticoke people|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. Another account says that Nuangola is a Native American word (probably from an Algonquian language) for "Three-Cornered Lake" or "Triangular Lake." Early settlers named its this, but the name was changed to Nuangola to avoid confusion with other towns in Pennsylvania. It has also been suggested that ''Nuangola'' means "people of the north."<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.nepanewsletter.com/towns.html | title=Origins of town names of Northeast PA}}</ref>

===Incorporation===
Nuangola was incorporated as a borough in 1908. Two years later, in 1910, the population of the new town was just over one hundred people. In the following decades, the population grew. The county became a center of mining and attracted many European immigrants.

But in the 20th century, this area was developed as a summer resort around the lake. Today, over six hundred people reside in Nuangola. Some are retirees; others have second homes here. The population increases in the summer.

After having been closed for decades, the theatre was reopened in 2006 as a Non-Equity stock theatre. Since then, the theatre has produced the following: ''[[Godspell]]'', ''[[On Golden Pond (play)|On Golden Pond]]'', ''[[Plaza Suite]]'', ''[[Prisoner of Second Avenue]]'', ''[[Ring of Fire (musical)|Ring of Fire]]'', ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'', and many others.
