The Angel Oak has come symbolize Charleston S.C. It is a Southern live oak located in Angel Oak Park, on Johns Island near Charleston. The Angel Oak Tree is estimated to be in excess of 1500 years old.
Angel Oak stands on part of Abraham Waight's 1717 land grant. The oak derives its name from the Angel estate, although local folklore told stories of ghosts of former slaves would appear as angels around the tree.
