Tuxedo is an unincorporated community in Henderson County, North Carolina, United States, which was originally called Lakewood.

Etymology

Tuxedo is a corruption of an Indian phrase, p tauk suttough, meaning "place of the bears."[3]

History

Early in the 20th century, the small town of Lakewood, North Carolina, changed its name to Tuxedo (after a town in NY State) to avoid confusion with a similarly named town in North Carolina.[4] A large mill, the Green River Manufacturing plant, employed some 250 area workers after its completion in 1910.[4] That same year, the "Tuxedo" post office was established, and remained in operation until 1993.[5] The mill, at the time called WestPoint Pepperell–Tuxedo, closed for good in 1990.[4]

Camp Arrowhead, located in Tuxedo, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[6] Tuxedo is also home to camps Mondamin, Green Cove, Talisman, Greystone and Falling Creek Camp.

Location

Tuxedo is located on U.S. Route 25 and U.S. Route 176, approximately 9 miles (14 km) north of the South Carolina border, at 2,054 feet (626 m) above sea level. It is home to North Carolina's Green River Nature Preserve.[4]

Nearby Lake Summit was formed by an impoundment of the Green River when additional power was needed for area businesses in the past.[4]
