Lawrence is a village in Nassau County, New York, United States. As of the 2010 United States
116_1
Census, the village population was 6,483.
116_2
The Village of Lawrence is in the southwestern corner of the Town of Hempstead, adjoining the
116_3
border with the New York City borough of Queens to the west and near the Atlantic Ocean to the
116_4
south. Lawrence is one of the "Five Towns", which consists of the villages of Lawrence and
116_5
Cedarhurst, the hamlets (unincorporated areas) of Woodmere and Inwood, and "The Hewletts", which is
116_6
made up of the hamlet of Hewlett together with the villages of Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor and
116_7
Hewlett Neck, along with Woodsburgh.
116_8
Old Lawrence
116_9
Old Lawrence, or Back Lawrence, is a part of the Village of Lawrence, comprising many large homes,
116_10
mansions, beach side villas and former plantations with very large property, a few dating back to
116_11
the time of the American Revolution. This area, like Hewlett is unique because its rural affluence
116_12
is similar in character to the more well known Gold Coast of the North Shore instead of being more
116_13
urbanized like the rest of the South Shore of Nassau County. An interesting pre-Revolutionary home
116_14
on Long Island, Rock Hall, was home to two prominent families, the Martins and Hewletts, and is now
116_15
an active museum.
116_16
Beginning in 1869, a railroad line was completed which originated in New York City and ran through
116_17
the part of Long Island now called The Five Towns. Part of the land in that area was acquired by
116_18
three brothers with the surname "Lawrence," which is who the Village was eventually named after.
116_19
During the second half of the 19th century, it was a main vacation spot for the wealthy families
116_20
until the 1890s. A series of hurricanes and nor'easters altered the coastline considerably and
116_21
destroyed a large beachfront hotel. Lawrence could no longer boast direct access to the sands along
116_22
the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, Lawrence began to become more like a modern suburb, a village
116_23
with schools, public facilities, better roads and a large town area that expanded into what it is
116_24
now today.
116_25
In 1897, Lawrence incorporated as a village. This enabled it to gain local control of zoning.
116_26
Lawrence, or most notably Old Lawrence, was formerly home to a large upper class of White
116_27
Anglo-Saxon Protestant families who lived there since the time of the American Revolution. From the
116_28
1940s to 1980s, it became a center of Reform and Conservative Jewish life that included the largest
116_29
Reform synagogue on Long Island (Temple Israel). Many noteworthy residents grew up in Lawrence
116_30
during this period.
116_31
In the late 1980s, it saw a large migration of Modern Orthodox Jews. The Orthodox Jewish
116_32
communities are close to the more Haredi nearby center of Far Rockaway which has more yeshivas for
116_33
the children and younger members as well as a variety of kosher restaurants and communal
116_34
organizations. Central Avenue in Lawrence (and its continuation in Cedarhurst) has a large and
116_35
growing number of kosher restaurants and other business catering to the Orthodox community.
116_36
Geography
