Tuxedo Park, Historic gated village in Orange County, New York.
The village spans 2,050 acres and contains three lakes, with Renaissance Revival architecture buildings scattered across the landscape at 124 meters elevation.
Pierre Lorillard IV established Tuxedo Park in 1885 as a private hunting reserve, constructing cottages for friends and family members.
The formal evening attire known as tuxedo received its name from this location after James Brown Potter introduced it following his meeting with the Prince of Wales.
Municipal services and information are available at 80 Lorillard Road, with the village maintaining specific zoning regulations and architectural review processes.
The name Tuxedo derives from the Lenape Munsee language word tucsedo or p'tuxseepu, which translates to crooked water or crooked river.
