Message from the Mayor of Tuxedo Park |
|
Construction of Tuxedo Park began in October 1885 and proceeded with typical American zeal. Lorillard brought in some 1,800 Italian and Slovak workmen to carry out his plans. Eventually two separate villages were created on the east side of the Ramapo, as well as a train station, stores and other houses in what is now the Hamlet. By June 1, 1886, when the Tuxedo Club opened with 200 members, a massive Gate and Keep, a large shingle-style Clubhouse resembling a seaside hotel, 13 cottages, 18 miles of carriage roads, an ice house, a fish hatchery, stables, an 8-foot high barbed wire fence surrounding some 3,000 acres and the first water, sewage treatment and telephone systems outside a major city had been constructed. Within 15 years both the number of houses and the amenities of the community had grown rapidly. A boathouse, racetrack, lawn tennis courts, a court tennis and racquet facility, a golf course (among the first four in the country), a swimming pool, a toboggan run and miles of bridle trails were built for the recreational use of over 300 Club members, of whom 90 had built houses (some very large), as well as 54 stables, along the 30 miles of carriage roads. Although originally intended to be used only in the spring and fall, by 1900 Tuxedo Park had become synonymous with luxurious living in a forested setting.
