Lantz (formerly known as Lantz Siding)[2] is an unincorporated community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Municipal District of East Hants and the Halifax Regional Municipality.[3] The community is located on the Shubenacadie River between the communities of Milford and Elmsdale.
The lands including present-day Lantz were granted to Richard Gibbon and Dr. John Marshall on June 2nd, 1785. The community was named "Lantz Siding" in 1898 by a man named Lantz who operated a brick and tile factory in the area. L. E. Shaw Limited was incorporated in 1921 after building a brick and tile plant in the area in 1913.[4]
On June 24, 1997, Lantz was hit by a tornado.[5]
