Every Rockefeller Center Christmas tree since the 1930s, and where it came from

• The Rockefeller tree has been put up every season around Christmas since the 1930s.
• Each year, a tree is selected and driven across state lines to Manhattan's Rockefeller Center.
• The iconic tree has come from Canada, New York, and various states across the Northeast.

Few holiday traditions are as enduring — or as photographed — as the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.

Since the 1930s, a towering tree has appeared in Midtown Manhattan each winter, drawing crowds from around the world and signaling the unofficial start of the holiday season.

But long before it's lit in front of millions, each Rockefeller tree begins its journey elsewhere, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles to reach its famous perch above Rockefeller Center's skating rink.

Practically every tree since the tradition's inception has been a Norway spruce, though there have been a couple of white spruces and balsam firs over the years.

The tree is selected from candidates across the country, either through people submitting photos of their own trees or through the Rockefeller Center head gardener scouting potential picks in person.

Here's where the Rockefeller tree has come from over the past 100 years — see if your hometown has ever supplied the iconic tree.
