History edit

Depending on the source, the station was built in either 1909[3] or February 1913.[4] The station was originally named "Norwood" until it, and the community it serves were renamed Malverne, in order to alleviate confusion with another Norwood, New York in St. Lawrence County. "Norwood" was also the name of a station on the former Southern Hempstead Branch of the South Side Railroad of Long Island. Though not officially considered a historic landmark, it is the oldest surviving station along the West Hempstead Branch.

In February 1955, the LIRR agreed to extend the platform by 150 feet (46 m) so it could accommodate ten-car trains. The footpath across the tracks was moved 150 feet (46 m) to the east.[5]

Station layout edit

This station has one four-car-long side platform on the east side of the single track.
