Etymology

The name is from a native word tucsedo, which has more than one meaning.

And these meanings would be...?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.206.79 (talk • contribs)

The native word mentioned is possibly not wholly correct, because some Tuxedo place names are believed to come from phrases.

They include (for only two examples), the Cherokee phrase p'tauk suttough (place of the bears or wolves) and the Algonquian phrases p'tuck-sepo (crooked river). There may well be more, but unless you can find an acceptable source which also narrows it down, it might have to stand as it is. Which native tribe inhabited the area in earlier times? 2602:30A:2C4A:1CB0:114A:C151:15A2:34DA (talk) 00:34, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History

I deleted the history that was obviously copied verbatim from the Village of Tuxedo Park page [1] possibly in violation of their copyright. That version also reads like a sales brochure and is not really encyclopedic. I reverted to the last prior version of the History section by 67.81.182.206. Zander 02:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
