Before Europeans, members of the Snuneymuxw and Nanoose First Nations lived in the area for thousands of years. In 1916, Jack Grant's Nanoose Collieries Company discovered coal in the area and started to mine for it at Grant's Mine. In 1920, American company Nanoose-Wellington Collieries Company bough Grant's Mine. The name of the community was named Lantzville after the company's director Fraser Lantz. The mine was later shut down after the coal ran out. The district of Lantzville holds an annual event in town known as Minetown Days which celebrates the history of Lantzville.
