Royal Oak Apartments for Rent

Royal Oak, Michigan

Royal Oak, Michigan is a prominent suburb of Detroit, Michigan, with over sixty thousand citizens. Royal Oak, Michigan is not to be confused with the nearby Royal Oak Charter Township. Unsurprisingly, Royal Oak, Michigan derives its name from the local flora, specifically a tree at the intersection of Rochester, Main, and Crooks streets.
Although Royal Oak, Michigan was incorporated in 1895, the name was born over a generation earlier in 1819. In that year, the eponymous tree caused Governor Lewis Cass to think of the royal oak tree that sheltered King Charles II of England after the Battle of Worcester when he was evading the Roundheads.

Royal Oak, Michigan also has special meaning to postal workers. In November 1991, postal employee Thomas McIlvane slew four others and later himself in a rampage at the post office in Royal Oak, Michigan.
