Lake Magdalene is surrounded by, and takes its name from, a 206 acre (0.83365316 km²) freshwater lake http://www.hillsborough.wateratlas.usf.edu/lake/default.asp?wbodyid=5168&wbodyatlas=lake. One legend has it that Lake Magdalene was named after Mary Magdalene, friend and follower of Jesus, who once appeared to a settler family along the waters of the lake. However, by other more documented accounts, the lake's designation borrows from the moniker of a Native American woman, Magdalena, who interpreted the language for a Spanish
expedition into Florida in 1549 http://www.hillsborough.wateratlas.usf.edu/upload/documents/HILLSBOROUGH_COUNTY_Historic_Resources_Excerpts_Magdalene.pdf, or even more likely, the name comes from the 1882 marriage of John Parrish and Mary Magdalene Yates, daughter of Jonah Yates, first mayor of Plant City
