Lantana is a town in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The population was 9,437 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded
by the U.S. Census Bureau is 10,389.

The first settlers came to the area after Congress passed the Armed Occupation Act of 1842 at the end of the Seminole Wars during the
Administration of President John Tyler. The M.B. Lyman family is credited with founding the Town. Lyman arrived with his family in 1888 and within a
year started several enterprises including a general store, Indian Trading Post and a post office. As postmaster, Lyman named the post office –
Lantana Point – for the wild Lantana plant that grew in abundance in the area. The word Point was later dropped.

One of the other Lyman businesses was the
Lantana Fish Company. In the early 1900s the gathering and marketing of oysters became the Town's
leading industry. The Town of
Lantana was incorporated in 1921 with 22 residents voting in the first election. At the time of incorporation, the area of
Lantana was one square mile with a population of 100 residents.

After World War II,
Lantana, like the rest of South Florida experienced a tremendous building boom which continues to this day. Interstate Highway
95, which was completed through
Lantana in the mid-1970s, brought a surge of commercial development to the Town.

For most of the 1970s and 1980s,
Lantana was home to the tradition of hosting the largest Christmas Tree in the World. Every year, a huge tree
would be shipped from the Pacific Northwest to
Lantana by rail to the property of the National Enquirer, adjacent to the Florida East Coast Railway
tracks. The event would attract thousands of visitors every night, and grew to be one of Palm Beach Counties most spectacular and celebrated
events. The torch went out for this annual festivity with the death, at the age of 61, of National Enquirer founder Generoso Pope Jr. in the late 1980s.

Today, the Town of
Lantana covers 2.25 square miles and boasts a year round population of about 10,000 residents. During the winter, the
population swells to around 14,000 residents.

Lantana is located at 26°34′58″N, 80°3′27″W (26.582797, -80.057587)GR1.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 7.5 km² (2.9 mi²). 5.9 km² (2.3 mi²) of it is land and 1.6 km² (0.6 mi²) of it
(21.31%) is water.
