The Charter Oak Tree was not just an ordinary tree. Its size was unusual, considered to be very large and possibly older then 500 years old when it was first noted in 1614. By the 1630s, land around the tree was being cleared by Samuel Wyllys, a settler to the area. He was purportedly asked by Native Americans in the area to preserve the tree because it had been planted by their tribe upon first settling there. Hope this helps
