Far Rockaway is next to, but is not in the Five Towns ( Woodmere, Cedarhurst, Hewlett,Lawrence, Inwood ). West Lawrence doen’t exist on any maps. It was a name that was made up for the section of Far Rockaway closest to the border with the 5 Towns
to distinguish it from the rest of FR which at the time was crime-ridden and run down.
FR is in Queens and the 5 Towns are in Nassau County.
