etymology

  • Tuxedo Park, New York gets it's name from the regional term "Tuxedo" and "Tuxedo Lake", apparently derived from an Algonquian toponym, either "tuksit" for the "wolf" tribe (literally "round foot") or "p'tuck-sepo" ("crooked river"). The region became home not only to enclaves of the rich, but also to iron mines and furnaces. I have not uncovered a specific connection between this region and the district platted in 1899 in Ensley. --Dystopos 21:55, 8 October 2009 (PDT)
