The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The village was originally named "Breslau" because the town's original German settlers were from the city of Breslau in Silesia (present-day Wrocław, Poland.) The town was founded in 1873 and was renamed Lindenhurst in 1891.
In 1923, Lindenhurst residents voted to incorporate the community as a village.
