Plantation Mayor Lynn Stoner said the issue of changing the city name was brought up in a recent online town hall, but she has received no formal petition to change the name. A name change would need to go before voters in a referendum, and the earliest that could happen would be 2022, she said. Stoner said she’s received numerous emails on the subject, and they’re running 10 to 1 against changing the city’s name, saying it was merely named for a company, not a slave plantation.
