Tuxedo Park, NY
Marc Citrin
Summary for 2024
Tuxedo Park is a village in Orange County, NY with a population of approximately 645. Quoting from Stuart J. McGregor’s book, “The Wee Wah Beach Club in Tuxedo Park”: “Much has been written about the founding of Tuxedo Park established by Pierre Lorillard IV in 1886 as a retreat for sporting activities with friends and family. It was also developed as a refuge from the formalities of social life in New York, and as a spring, fall, and winter getaway.” The Village maintains a very strong connection to nature. Indeed, nature is integral to this Village. The lakes, hills, trails, trees and wildlife, including bald eagles, are treasured by one and all. The Village of Tuxedo Park is pleased to join the effort to save the monarch butterfly and other pollinators with the signing of the Mayor’s Pledge and we very much look forward to engaging residents in aiding in this noble cause.
