Topic: Five Towns


  
  Five Towns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Five Towns, New York is an informal grouping of villages and hamlets (not towns) in Nassau County, New York, United States on the south shore of western Long Island adjoining the border with Queens County in New York City.
The Five Towns is usually said to be comprised of the villages of Lawrence and Cedarhurst, the hamlets of Woodmere and Inwood, and "The Hewletts", which consist of the villages of Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor and Hewlett Neck and the hamlet of Hewlett.
There are more communities that are sometimes considered to be part of the Five Towns, including Atlantic Beach, Woodsburgh and North Woodmere, which are all officially part of the Lawrence School District, but their inclusion in the Five Towns is unclear since there is no official Five Towns designation.
