The story

How North Lynbrook came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of North Lynbrook.

Read it all →

When Malverne voted to become an incorporated village in 1921, the residents from North Lynbrook did not wish to become part of the new village and therefore remained an unincorporated hamlet under the jurisdiction of the Town of Hempstead.

North Lynbrook was first created for the 2000 United States Census.

The name of the hamlet reflects its geographic location north of the Incorporated Village of Lynbrook.
