It was founded on June 30, 1932, with the Fascist name of Littoria when the area surrounding it, which had been a swamp since Antiquity, was drained. Littoria was populated with immigrants coming mainly from Friuli and Veneto.

The urban plan and the monuments, mainly in neo-classical style, were designed by famous architects and artists such as Marcello Piacentini, Angiolo Mazzoni and Duilio Cambellotti. In 1934 it became a province capital and after World War II was renamed Latina in 1946. With the arrival of other people mainly from Latium itself, the original Venetian-like dialect was increasingly substituted by a form of Roman dialect.
