Do you know of Lantana ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Lantana. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Lantana.<1>

Our sources for Lantana (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Lantana other than they indicate that Lantana would be found somewhere in Goochland County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1895 and closed  in 1913.
