Charter Oak, or Election Tree!

Charter Oak or Election Tree
Landmark #410 Tulare County Visited: July 13, 2013 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? A plaque and the Charter Oak!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: Under this tree on July 10, 1852, a party commanded by Major James D. Savage conducted the election by which Tulare County was organized. Woodville, site of Wood’s cabin, and the first county seat, was located about one-half mile south of this marker. This general area, the delta of the Kaweah River, was also known as the “Four Creeks County.”

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
