Lynbrook is a village in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, on the South Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States.

The area currently known as Lynbrook has had other names, including Rechquaakie (originally), Parson's Corners, and Bloomfield.

Alternatively, it was called "Five Corners" because the stagecoach stop was at the crossing of Hempstead Avenue, Merrick Road, and Broadway.

[2] The name "Lynbrook" is derived by dividing "Brooklyn" into its syllables and transposing them, a tribute to the original home of many of the town's turn-of-the-century residents.

[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.0 square miles (5.2 km2), all land.

[7][17][18] Like the rest of New York, Lynbrook is represented in the United States Senate by Charles Schumer (D) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D).

[7] The village is also home to Our Lady of Peace Roman Catholic Elementary School.

[7] Long Island Rail Road service to the New York City boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn is available at the Lynbrook station, located off Sunrise Highway between Peninsula Boulevard and Broadway in the heart of the village.

[20] All four routes are operated by Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE) and travel through the village.
