Nuangola was incorporated as a borough on November 16, 1908. The name is of Lenape origin, though its exact meaning is uncertain. The 2020 population was 666.
The borough is built around Nuangola Lake, on the mountain plateau south of Wilkes-Barre. Interstate 81 runs just to the east, linking it to Wilkes-Barre to the north and Hazleton to the south.
Nuangola began as an early-1900s summer resort colony. From the 1930s into the 1950s the Grove Theatre operated here as a summer stock playhouse. The borough is served by the Crestwood School District.
Housing centers on the lake, with lakefront and lake-view homes alongside former cottages converted to year-round use. It is a small waterfront market with easy interstate access in both directions.
