From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty Oak, near Bartow Pell Mansion in Pelham Bay Park, died about 85 years ago after a fire and was replaced. It is between the mansion and Shore Road. It is surrounded by an iron fence.

It was said that under this Oak tree a treaty was signed between Thomas Pell and Chief Wampage selling Pell all land east of the Bronx River in Westchester County, New York.
