Tuxedo Name Origin Tied to Tuxedo Park Club
The dinner jacket known as the tuxedo grew from the Tuxedo club founded in 1886 at Tuxedo Park New York. Pierre Lorillard acquired land around Tuxedo Lake in 1814 and his son organized the Tuxedo Park Association to develop it as a summer resort. The term tuxedo derives from an Algonquin word linked to the Wolf sub tribe of the Delawares meaning he has a round foot.
