Lantana encompasses 1,780 acres (7.2 km²). It was developed starting in 1999 on land acquired from the Rayzor family (known as Rayzor Ranch). On March 16, 2000, Republic Property broke ground on the community. Larkspur and Sandlin were the first neighborhoods developed. The first residents moved in on July 31, 2001. In the first quarter of 2014, Forestar Group, Inc, an original equity partner along with Republic Property Group, acquired the remaining partnership interest in Lantana and will continue with the final development of the community.

The homes in Lantana are built around an 18-hole golf course, designed by award-winning golf architect Jay Morrish. In October 2003, Lantana Golf Club became a semi-private facility. In October 2004, a 7,500 square-foot club house expansion was completed providing new facilities such as men’s and women’s locker rooms, men’s card room and lounge, playroom, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility. The club went private in early 2009.
