The Five Towns is an informal grouping of villages and hamlets in Nassau County, United States on the South Shore of western Long Island adjoining the border with Queens County in New York City. Despite the name, none of these communities is a town. The Five Towns is usually said to comprise 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, along with Woodsburgh.North Woodmere has also been included in the grouping, although it is legally part of Valley Stream. The "towns" most commonly included as constituents of the "Five Towns" are all in the southwest corner of the Town of Hempstead.
The name "Five Towns" dates back to 1931, when individual Community Chest groups in the area banded together to form the "Five Towns Community Chest", consisting of Inwood, Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Woodmere, and Hewlett. The organization still exists (as of 2006) as a local charity, but the "Five Towns" moniker caught on as a designation for the entire area. A 1933 article in The New York Times references a Girl Scouts of the USA encampment by the "Five Towns Council, embracing the villages [sic] of Inwood, Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Woodmere and Hewlett", listed in order by LIRR station.

It’s a delicate balance, the rights of homeowners and freedom of religion. As CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan reported, in Long Island’s Five Towns, one synagogue in the quiet Lawrence neighborhood on the water is making waves. For 10 years a covenant was placed on Temple Bais Medrash, limiting its operations to weekend religious services. It’s smack in the middle of a small upscale enclave with no sidewalks and little parking. Congregants walk to synagogue on Sabbath. Recently, temple leaders lobbied the zoning board during a heated hearing at a nearby club, that lasted well past midnight, and won the right to a ‘trial one year expansion’ to open their doors seven nights a week. The decision provoked a neighborhood lawsuit. “Difficult balance between rights of people to practice their faith ...

Tales of the Five Towns audiobook by Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) This is a selection of short stories recounting, with gentle satire and tolerant good humour, the small town provincial life at the end of the nineteenth century, based around the six towns in the county of Staffordshire, England, known as the Potteries. Arnold Bennett chose to fictionalize these towns by changing their names and omitting one (Fenton) as he apparently felt that "Five Towns" was more euphonious than "Six Towns". The real town names which are thinly disguised in the novel are: Hanley, Longton, Burslem and Tunstal, the fifth, Stoke became "Knype". Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was born in Hanley, the eldest child of a pawnbroker who subsequently became a solicitor. Bennett's father wished him to become a solicitor...
