=== Other names ===
The lagoon has been known by several names. [[Juan Ponce de León]] called it ''Chequescha'' in 1513, and [[Pedro Menéndez de Avilés]] called it ''Tequesta'' in 1565. Those names are variant spellings of "[[Tequesta]]", the name of the people who lived around the lagoon at the time. The British, during their occupation of Florida, called the lagoon "Cape River", "Dartmouth Sound", and "Sandwich gulph".{{sfn|Blank|1996|p=13}}
