The trees were planted over 300 years ago by a Canadian-voyager by the name of Michel Arceneaux I. He was born on December 24, 1666 in Quebec, Canada. His mother died giving child birth, and his father, Francois, died of the flu in 1669. In 1696, King Louis XIV granted him 250 acres of land west of the Mississippi due to his royal ties. This would become Oak Alley. In 1704, he settled in the area and planted a row of oak trees to mark it off. In 1707, he left with his family back to Canada.
