There is truly always something happening in Royal Oak

Fun Fact: The name of the city originated in 1819 during on of Territorial Governor Lewis Cass' land surveying expeditions. Governor Cass came upon a large oak tree and its large branches reminded Cass of the legend of the royal oak tree, under which King Charles II of England took sanctuary from enemy forces in 1660. Cass and his companions christened the tree, the "Royal Oak." And so Royal Oak received its name.
