Home Cleaning Lynbrook NY

Lynbrook is a village of 20,000 residents in the Nassau County in the Town of Hempstead, a fifteen minute east of John F. Kennedy Airport. Lynbrook serves as the setting of the sitcom Everyone Loves Raymond, and in an episode of Seinfeld, the gang decides to go to a mall in Lynbrook, although Lynbrook has no malls. The town was also home to the poet Edward Field and former Communist spy Whittaker Chambers. But its name, and history of its naming, is quite distinctive. In fact, it is an anagram of “Brooklyn.”

The town went through ten names before Lynbrook was decided upon. According to Art Mattson, author of A Brief History of Lynbrook, the village was first inhabited by the Rockaway Indians, an Algonquin group, referring to the land as Rechqua-Akie, which means a “Sandy Place.” It was later renamed Near Rockaway when Europeans arrived in 1641, and by the 1830s the names Clink-Town, named after a Rockaway chief; Parson’s Corners, named after the parsonage in the village; and Bloomfield, possibly just named for the village’s field, were bestowed upon the village.
