When Old Peppy first took root in the mid-18th century, Lincoln Park was part of the estate of John Denman, one of the area’s first white settlers. According to historian Lawrence Fuhro, some of the tree’s hardwood contemporaries were cut down and used to refit the U.S.S. Constitution, the legendary Navy frigate.

The young tree grew alongside the major stagecoach highway connecting Elizabeth and Westfield. By the time Cranford incorporated in 1876, the tree was more than a century old.

Old Peppy was declared Cranford’s official tree in 1964. At that time, it stood 76 feet tall with branches that spread out in an 88-foot diameter, the largest of its species in the northeast United States.

Old Peppy was an historic Pepperidge tree that had belonged to the Denman homestead for many generations. Everything humanly possible was done to try and save it, but it finally succumbed to old age and weather.
