The village is home to 6,522 people as reported by the 2000 census. The real answer to how Lawrence received its name is found from tales and rumors with one being it was named to honor James Lawrence a naval hero, while another states the name came from landowners in the area Alfred and Newbold Lawrence. In the 1850’s, the Lawrence brothers purchased land which brought others from New York that built summer homes. On September 13, 1897, Lawrence became incorporated.
