This tree is the only remaining member of a large grove of oaks around which
the town developed. Legend has it that the city began clearing the grove many
years ago to pave the square, but a settler objected, saying the oak tree saved
his life during battle and that he would protect it with his own. The city
relented on part of its paving project, and the tree stands today at the
southwest corner of Comanche's town square.
