The arboretum was established in 1903 by Dr. William Chambers Coker, the University's first Professor of Botany and the first chair of the University Buildings and Grounds Committee.[2] Coker loved East Asian species and added many throughout the 1920s into the 1940s, including conifers and one Metasequoia, as well as daffodils and daylilies. Two prominent features are a native vine arbor (300 feet long) and an adjacent stone circle.
