Treaty Oak (New York, New York)
- Treaty Oak (New York, New York)
The Treaty Oak, near Bartow Pell Mansion in Pelham Bay Park, in the New York City borough of the Bronx, died 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 what was then Westchester County, New York.
