Tuxedo, New York
Tuxedo is a town located in Orange County, New York along the Ramapo River. As of the 2010 census, the town had a total population of 3,624.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 The town is in the southeastern part of the county in the Ramapo Mountains. New York State Route 17 and the New York State Thruway (Interstate 87) pass through the town. The name is derived from a Lenape word ''tucseto'', which has several known meanings.
==History==
The historic occupants of what is now the town of Tuxedo were the Lenni-Lenape Indians, a branch of the large Algonquian language family of Native Americans, whose different branches lived along the East Coast from Canada through the Upper South. The Lenape named the largest lake in the area ''Tucseto,'' meaning either "place of the bear" or "clear flowing water." European-American colonists later adopted that name for the town they developed.
Some Lenape stayed in villages in the Ramapo Mountains, having migrated west from Connecticut. They gradually intermarried with other ethnic groups in what was long a relatively remote frontier. They maintained a culture and community of their own in this area on both sides of the later border with New Jersey. The Ramapough Mountain Indians have been recognized by New Jersey as a Native American tribe.〔Lenik, Edward J., 2011.
