Cavalier is a city located in the United States. However, historical records primarily associate the term with 17th-century English history rather than specific geographical locations within the United States.
Historically, the term "Cavalier" was first used to describe cavalrymen before being adopted as a label for wealthy royalist supporters of Charles I and Charles II during the English Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration. While originally referring to political and social attitudes, the identity became strongly associated with the fashionable clothing of the royal court. Prince Rupert is frequently cited as an archetypal Cavalier.
