New York metropolitan area: The Apex

[nygirl1]

Lynbrook is a village in south western Nassau County. It was originally called Pearsall’s Corner after a General Store which had become a famous stage coach stop for many in the region. It then became known as the five corners but in 1894 the name was officially changed to Lynbrook. The name is derived from Brooklyn and it’s two syllables. This naming was a tribute to the borough and the many residents at the turn of the century in Lynbrook who once called Brooklyn home. By the middle of the 20th century it became home to many second generation, working class Italians and Jews. The area continued to develop and boom in population throughout the 70’s and 1980’s taking on a much more diverse range of peoples coming in from areas in and around New York City. Today it is a typical commuter suburb.
