Adirondack
Upstate wilderness region
Adirondack refers to a mountainous region in northeastern New York State, known for its wilderness, lakes, and recreational areas.
An Adirondack chair is a distinctive wooden outdoor chair with a slanted back and wide armrests, designed for lounging: We sat in Adirondacks on the porch, watching the sunset.
The chair style originated in the region around 1900.
