Type: Live Oak
Age: 150- 200 years
"Trader's Oak" is witness to the entire history of Fort Worth. It was here when Native American tribes were wandering this prairie, it witnessed the establishment of the Army fort in 1849, and the first election in Tarrant County was held in its shade in 1850.
The area was once called Oak Point, quite a few massive old oaks, of seemingly similar age, remain nearby.
