Royal Oak

Detroit's leafy neighbor

Royal Oak is a proper noun naming several places, most notably a city in Michigan and a historic English oak tree where King Charles II reportedly hid from Parliamentary forces in 1651.

The tree's fame spawned countless Royal Oak pubs across Britain and place names throughout the English-speaking world.
