[edit] History

The location of Lynbrook was originally called Pearsalls. The village was incorporated in 1911.

The name "Lynbrook" is derived by dividing "Brooklyn" into its syllables and inverting them, a tribute to the original home of many of the town's turn-of-the-century residents. It is frequently called "Lynbrook, U.S.A.," in recognition of the fact that there is no other town in the United States with the same name. [1]

Lynbrook is part of the fourth congressional District (NY).
