About The Area
The Town of Plymouth was incorporated
in 1620. It is the seat of Plymouth County, and has the largest area of
any town in the Commonwealth. Plymouth is the oldest town in
Massachusetts with a rich colonial history and lots of charm. For most
of its existence, Plymouth was an isolated seacoast area where economic
fortunes were linked to the sea and shipping. The site of the original
1620 settlement is now a portion of today's Downtown/Harbor District. In
contrast with modern life, Plymouth Rock still more than a landing
place, it stands as a symbol of the freedom and a reminder of the first
Thanksgiving.
Since the arrival of the pilgrims, some
382 years ago, Plymouth has grown from a small settlement into a large
community of over 50,000 people, in an area which spans over 100 square
miles. There are 365 ponds and lakes, one for every day of the year, a
variety of public beaches, a working town wharf, acres of park and
recreation land and numerous historic landmarks for residents and
tourists alike to visit and enjoy.
