Lynn Haven was founded in 1911 by Union veterans from the American Civil War. The town was named after W. H. Lynn, a primary stockholder of the St. Andrews Bay Development Company, the corporation that owned and developed the land on which Lynn Haven grew.
On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall near Lynn Haven. The 3rd strongest hurricane to ever make landfall in the contiguous United States was the first category 5 hurricane to strike the United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Hurricane Michael displaced thousands of Lynn Haven residents.
After Hurricane Michael, the FBI initiated a federal investigation into city corruption, which resulted in the suspension of Mayor Margo Anderson by Governor Ron DeSantis. She resigned from her position and was later arrested at her home in Jacksonville, Florida. Prosecutors charged Anderson with 64 counts for her involvement in hurricane debris removal scheme resulting in the theft of $5 million. Anderson entered a plea agreement and charged with one felony of lying to the FBI. She served one month in prison. Several other city officials were charged and pleaded guilty, including former City Manager Michael White and former City Attorney Adam Albritton. Additionally, local businessman James Finch, owner of Phoenix Construction, was charged with bribing former City Commissioner Antonius Barnes with $45,000 in checks over several years. Finch has a history of being associated with corruption in previous cases. Barnes took a plea deal in the case, but did not testify in the second trial, which subsequently led to a not guilty verdict for Finch.
During a special election, Jesse L. Nelson, a local pastor of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, was elected Mayor on May 18, 2021, by a slim margin. He is the first African-American mayor to be elected to the position.
