On Dec. 3, 1792, Revolutionary War Gen. William R. Davie and five other men were having a picnic. It was this meeting that would decide the location of the University, and it was this man for whom one of UNC’s many monuments would be named: the Davie Poplar. The exact age of the Davie Poplar is unknown, but arborists believe it is around 300 years old. (Daily Tar Heel)
