[edit] History
As a northwestern suburb of Tampa, this bedroom community really has not had a documented history and has no centralized downtown area. It surrounds large Lake Magdalene in Hillsborough County and takes its name from that body of water. The lake was reportedly named after Mary Magdalene, friend and follower of Jesus. An often forgotten local legend claims that Mary Magdalene once appeared to a settler family along the waters of the lake, and her appearance prompted the lake to earn the name "Magdalene Lake" and she was referred to as the "Lady of the Lake".
