One Tree Hill

The name 'One Tree Hill' was taken from a U2 song of the same name. The creator, Mark Schwahn, was listening to U2's 'The Joshua Tree' album. When the song 'One Tree Hill' came on, he decided to make it the title.

Episodes are all names of songs/albums titles. Artists whose album name/song title features as an episode title are sometimes seen in the soundtrack, but not always.

The Tree Hill High gym, where the Raven's games were played, is the gym that Michael Jordan played at when he was in school.
