Malverne is a historic railroad station along the West Hempstead Branch of the Long Island Rail Road.

[4] The station was originally named "Norwood" until it, and the community it serves were renamed Malverne, in order to alleviate confusion with another Norwood, New York in St. Lawrence County.

"Norwood" was also the name of a station on the former Southern Hempstead Branch of the South Side Railroad of Long Island.

Though not officially considered a historic landmark, it is the oldest surviving station along the West Hempstead Branch.

In February 1955, the LIRR agreed to extend the platform by 150 feet (46 m) so it could accommodate ten-car trains.
