Lake Grove, New York
Lake Grove is a village in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, Lake Grove had a population of 11,072.
The area of Lake Grove was settled in the early 18th century along Middle Country Road, which was then part of the Old Kings Highway, originally a Native American footpath. The community's first church building, built in 1818, was the First Congregational Church of New Village. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, the building has been preserved and is depicted on the village seal. In 1870, Lake Grove established its first post office, which carried the mail to and from Lakeland station (discontinued in 1883) by horse and wagon. The area was variously called Lakeland, Lakeville, New Village, Ronkonkoma or West Middle Island until it settled on the name Lake Grove in mid-19th century, after the groves of trees near Lake Ronkonkoma.
During the early 20th century Lake Ronkonkoma became a popular area for recreation, which prompted many small summer houses built on private roads of Lake Grove. In 1921, a new post office was erected in the eastern part of the area and given the name of Centereach. The next significant housing development built in Lake Grove was called Brook Lawn and was located on Stony Brook Road, which later grew into Stony Brook. More developments followed and the population of Lake Grove increased rapidly. In 1954, the newly built Nesconset Highway created a major commercial crossroad in Lake Grove, which prompted the construction of the Smith Haven Mall in 1968, which in turn made the local residents become concerned about the impact of new businesses and increased traffic in their community.
In order to gain local control of the zoning and planning, Lake Grove was incorporated by a vote of 552 to 332 on September 9, 1968.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 3.0 square miles (7.8 km2), all land.
As of the 2020 census, Lake Grove had a population of 11,072. The median age was 44.3 years. 18.1% of residents were under the age of 18 and 20.0% of residents were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 99.4 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 96.7 males age 18 and over.
100.0% of residents lived in urban areas, while 0.0% lived in rural areas.
There were 3,910 households in Lake Grove, of which 30.2% had children under the age of 18 living in them. Of all households, 57.7% were married-couple households, 14.1% were households with a male householder and no spouse or partner present, and 22.6% were households with a female householder and no spouse or partner present. About 20.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 10.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
