Circa 1870, the influential Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) came up with the Greenlawn label for the local area station to promote and stimulate seaside travel to the nearby beach resort town of Centerport. The lingering question remains: why tag a landlocked hamlet like Greenlawn, with a turf-like namesake, if it's supposed to support a conflicting, incorrect beach-like lifestyle image? The unanswered mystery regarding this peculiarity still lingers on.
According to the United States Census Bureau's 2010 report, the unincorporated hamlet of Greenlawn (so classified as a result of its official designation as a "census-designated place") had 13,742 residents packed into a compact 3.7-square miles of Suffolk County's finest real estate. In addition to an historical association with producing pickles from locally grown cucumbers, Greenlawn's Fire Department is reputed to be the host of New York State's biggest and oldest fair every year for the Labor Day weekend.
