Tuxedo New York got its name from the Lenape Native American word "tuxedo," which is believed to mean "place of the bear." The area became known for its scenic beauty and was developed in the 19th century as a resort destination. The name became more widely recognized when the Tuxedo Park community was established, which was an exclusive retreat for the wealthy. The term "tuxedo" later became associated with the formal evening wear that originated from this community.
