The town hall is located in the locality called Baia, Latina is a former hamlet now part of the inhabited center; therefore it is not a scattered municipality.
The origins of Baia Latina are uncertain and, historically, its name appears in 979 in the bull of Santo Stefano di Caiazzo.According to Marciano Rossi, the ancient (Baia) was an Etruscan colony, a hypothesis perhaps confirmed by the discovery of amphorae, depicted in the Latin Goddess.
Latina was, on the other hand, a colony because of the Vayardis settled there.
