'''Plymouth''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|p|l|ɪ|m|ə|θ}}; historically known as '''Plimouth''' and '''Plimoth''') is a town in [[Plymouth County, Massachusetts]]. The town holds a place of great prominence in American history, folklore, and culture, and is known as "America's Hometown." Plymouth was the site of the colony founded in 1620 by the ''[[Mayflower]]'' [[Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]], where [[New England]] was first established. It is the oldest municipality in New England and one of the oldest in the United States.<ref name=glocon>{{cite web|url=http://www.glo-con.com/article/article_no/3022/|title=What are the oldest cities in America?|accessdate=2007-08-11|publisher=Glo-con.com}}</ref> The town has served as the location of several prominent events, one of the more notable being the [[Thanksgiving (United States)#Harvest festival observed by the Pilgrims at Plymouth|First Thanksgiving feast]]. Plymouth served as the capital of [[Plymouth Colony]] from its founding in 1620 until the colony's merger with the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]] in 1691. It is named after [[Plymouth]], England where the ''Mayflower'' set sail for America.
Plymouth is located approximately {{convert|40|mi|km}} south of [[Boston, Massachusetts]] in a region known as the [[South Shore (Massachusetts)|South Shore]]. Throughout the 19th century, the town thrived as a center of rope making, fishing, and shipping, and was home to the [[Plymouth Cordage Company]], formerly the world's largest rope making company. It continues to be an active port, but today its major industry is tourism.{{fact|date=November 2019}} The town is served by [[Plymouth Municipal Airport (Massachusetts)|Plymouth Municipal Airport]] and contains [[Pilgrim Hall Museum]], the oldest continually operating museum in the United States. It is the largest municipality in Massachusetts by area.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/03/realestate/where-the-pilgrims-lived-megaprojects-now-loom.html|title=Where the Pilgrims Lived, Megaprojects Now Loom|last=Diesenhouse|first=Susan|accessdate=2009-07-17|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=2000-09-03}}</ref> The population was 58,271 as of the 2014 U.S. Census.

==History==
===Pre-colonial era===
Prior to the arrival of the Pilgrims, the location of Plymouth was a village of the [[Wampanoag (tribe)|Wampanoag]] tribe called [[Patuxet]].<ref>[[James Loewen]], ''[[Lies My Teacher Told Me]]'', Simon & Schuster: New York, 1995, {{ISBN|0-684-81886-8}}, pp. 90-91</ref> The region was visited twice by European explorers prior to the establishment of Plymouth Colony. In 1605, [[Samuel de Champlain]] sailed to [[Plymouth Harbor]], calling it Port St. Louis. [[John Smith (explorer)|Captain John Smith]] was a leader of the colony at [[Jamestown, Virginia]], and he explored parts of Cape Cod Bay and is credited with naming the region "New Plimouth."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://etext.virginia.edu/users/deetz/Plymouth/Maysource.html|title=Passengers on the Mayflower: Ages & Occupations, Origins & Connections|author=Patricia Scott Deetz|author2=James F. Deetz|work=The Plymouth Colony Archive Project|year=2000|accessdate=2007-07-11}}</ref>
Two plagues afflicted coastal New England in 1614 and 1617, killing between 90% and 95% of the local Wampanoag inhabitants.<ref name="Loewen, 1995, pp. 80-86">Loewen, 1995, pp. 80-86</ref> The near disappearance of the tribe from the site left their cornfields and cleared areas vacant for the Pilgrims to occupy.<ref name="Loewen, 1995, pp. 80-86"/>
===Colonial era===
[[File:Landing-Bacon.PNG|thumb|left|"The Landing of the Pilgrims."(1877) by Henry A. Bacon. The [[Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]] are traditionally said to have landed at [[Plymouth Rock]]]]
Plymouth played a very important role in American colonial history. It was the final landing site of the first voyage of the ''[[Mayflower]]'' and the location of the original settlement of [[Plymouth Colony]]. Plymouth was established in December 1620 by English [[Puritans#Puritans and Separatists|separatist Puritans]] who had broken away from the [[Church of England]], believing that the Church had not completed the work of the [[Protestant Reformation]]. Today, these settlers are much better known as the "[[Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]]", a term coined by [[William Bradford (Plymouth governor)|William Bradford]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pilgrims.net/plymouth/history/ |title=Pilgrims: Plymouth Its History and People|accessdate=2009-07-17|publisher=Historical Reference Center |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080116043600/http://pilgrims.net/plymouth/history/ |archivedate = 2008-01-16}}</ref>
The Mayflower first anchored in the harbor of [[Provincetown, Massachusetts]] on November 11, 1620. The ship was headed for the mouth of the Hudson River near [[Manhattan]], which was part of the [[Colony of Virginia]] at the time, but it did not go beyond [[Cape Cod]].<ref name=Philbrick>Philbrick, Nathaniel (2006). Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War. New York: Penguin Group.</ref> The Pilgrim settlers realized that they did not have a patent to settle in the region, so they signed the [[Mayflower Compact]] prior to disembarking.<ref>Philbrick (2006) pp 41</ref> They explored various parts of Cape Cod and eventually sought a suitable location for a permanent settlement to the westward in [[Cape Cod Bay]]. They discovered the sheltered waters of [[Plymouth Harbor]] on December 17, and the protected bay led to a site for the new settlement after three days of surveying.
The settlers officially disembarked on December 21, 1620. It is traditionally said that the Pilgrims first set foot in America at the site of [[Plymouth Rock]], though no historical evidence can prove this claim.<ref>Johnson, Paul (1997). A History of the American People. New York: HarperCollins.</ref> They named their settlement "Plimouth" (sometimes spelled "Plimoth") after the [[Plymouth|major port city]] in [[Devon|Devon, England]] from which the ''Mayflower'' ultimately sailed.

==== First Winter ====
Plymouth faced many difficulties during its first winter, the most notable being the risk of starvation and the lack of suitable shelter. From the beginning, the assistance of Native Americans was vital. One colonist's journal reports:<ref name=Loewen91>Loewen, 1995, p. 91</ref>
<blockquote>We marched to the place we called Cornhill, where we had found the corn before. At another place we had seen before, we dug and found some more corn, two or three baskets full, and a bag of beans. ... In all we had about ten bushels, which will be enough for seed. It is with God's help that we found this corn, for how else could we have done it, without meeting some Indians who might trouble us.</blockquote>
During their earlier exploration of the Cape, the Pilgrims had come upon a Native American burial site which contained corn, and they had taken the corn for future planting. On another occasion, they found an unoccupied house and had taken corn and beans, for which they made restitution with the occupants about six months later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mith.umd.edu/eada/html/display.php?docs=bradford_history.xml|title=Of Plymouth Plantation - Early Americas Digital Archive (EADA)|website=mith.umd.edu}}</ref>
Even greater assistance came from [[Samoset]] and [[Squanto|Tisquantum]] (known as Squanto by the pilgrims), a Native American sent by [[Wampanoag (tribe)|Wampanoag Tribe]] [[Massasoit|Chief Massasoit]] as an ambassador and technical adviser. Squanto had been kidnapped in 1614 by an English slave raider and sold in [[Málaga]], Spain. He learned English, escaped slavery, and returned home in 1619. He taught the colonists how to farm corn, where and how to catch fish, and other helpful skills for the New World. He also was instrumental in the survival of the settlement for the first two years.
Squanto and another guide sent by Massasoit in 1621 named [[Hobomok]] helped the colonists set up trading posts for furs.<ref>Loewen, 1995, pp. 92-93</ref> Chief Massasoit later formed a Peace Treaty with the Pilgrims. Upon growing a plentiful harvest in the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims gathered with Squanto, Samoset, Massasoit, and ninety other Wampanoag men in a celebration of thanksgiving to God for their plentiful harvest. This celebration is known today as the [[Thanksgiving (United States)#1621 Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims at Plymouth|First Thanksgiving]], and is still commemorated annually in downtown Plymouth with a parade and a reenactment. Since 1941, [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] has been observed as a [[federal holiday]] in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|last = Wilson|first = Jerry|title = The Thanksgiving Story|work = Holiday Page|publisher = Wilstar.com|year = 2001|url = http://wilstar.com/holidays/thankstr.htm|accessdate = 2007-07-31}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title = History of Thanksgiving: A Timeline|publisher = Twoop.com|year = 2006|url = http://www.twoop.com/holidays/archives/2005/11/thanksgiving.html|accessdate = 2007-07-31}}</ref>

Plymouth served as the capital of [[Plymouth Colony]] (which consisted of modern-day [[Barnstable County, Massachusetts|Barnstable]], [[Bristol County, Massachusetts|Bristol]], and [[Plymouth County, Massachusetts|Plymouth]] Counties) from its founding in 1620 until 1691, when the colony was merged with the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]] and other territories to form the [[Province of Massachusetts Bay]].<ref name=timeline>{{cite web|title=Timeline of Plymouth Colony 1620–1692 |publisher=Plimoth Plantation |year=2007 |url=http://www.plimoth.org/education/teachers/timeline.php |accessdate=2007-04-02 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070426131601/http://www.plimoth.org/education/teachers/timeline.php |archivedate=2007-04-26 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last = Demos | first = John | authorlink = John Putnam Demos | title = A Little Commonwealth: Family Life in Plymouth Colony | url = https://archive.org/details/littlecommonweal00demo | url-access = registration | publisher = Oxford University Press | year = 1970 | location = New York}} pp 17–18</ref><ref>{{cite book | last = Weinstein | first = Allen | authorlink = Allen Weinstein | author2 = David Rubel | title = The Story of America: Freedom and Crisis from Settlement to Superpower | publisher = DK Publishing | year = 2002 | location = New York | isbn = 0-7894-8903-1 | url-access = registration | url = https://archive.org/details/storyofamericafr00wein }} pp 64–65</ref> Plymouth holds the unique distinction of being the first permanent settlement in New England, and one of the oldest settlements in the United States.<ref name=glocon/><ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/country_profiles/1230058.stm|title=Timeline: United States of America|accessdate=2009-07-17|work=[[BBC News]]}}</ref>
===Revolutionary War===
[[File:Cordage_Park_Tower.jpg|link=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cordage_Park_Tower.jpg|right|thumb|Cordage Commerce Center, North Plymouth]]
During the Revolutionary War, the Plymouth County militia was led by Colonel Theophilus Cotton of Plymouth. News reached Plymouth of the [[Battles of Lexington and Concord|Battles of Concord and Lexington]], and Cotton gathered his soldiers and marched on the town of [[Marshfield, Massachusetts|Marshfield]] where a small British barracks had been established on the estate of Nathaniel Ray Thomas, known today as the [[Thomas–Webster Estate|Daniel Webster Estate]]. Cotton's forces surrounded the British troops, but Cotton determined not to fire, allowing the British to escape by water down the [[Green Harbor River]] and back to the security of the British forces [[Siege of Boston|occupying Boston]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://historicaldigression.com/2011/01/10/the-almost-battle-of-marshfield/|title=The Almost-Battle of Marshfield|last=Browne|first=Patrick T.

===19th century===
[[File:Cordage Park Tower.jpg|thumb|right|Cordage Commerce Center, North Plymouth]]
In the 1800s, Plymouth remained a relatively isolated seacoast town whose livelihood depended on fishing and shipping.<ref name=top1620>{{cite web|url=http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ma/county/plymouth/towns/plymouth.htm|title=Town of Plymouth, Established 1620|accessdate=2007-07-14|publisher=Usgennet.org}}</ref> The town eventually became a regional center of shipbuilding and fishing. Its principal industry was the [[Plymouth Cordage Company]], founded in 1824,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cordagecommercecenter.com/flash_content/history.htm|title=Cordage Company: Storied Past|accessdate=2007-07-31|publisher=Cordage Commerce Center |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927200510/http://www.cordagecommercecenter.com/flash_content/history.htm <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2007-09-27}}</ref> which became the world's largest manufacturer of rope and cordage products. At one point, the longest ropewalk in the world was found on the Cordage Company's site on the [[North Plymouth, Massachusetts|North Plymouth]] waterfront, a quarter-mile (0.4 km) in length. It thrived into the 1960s, but was forced out of business in 1964 due to competition from synthetic-fiber ropes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mysticseaport.org/library/Manuscripts/coll/coll133/coll133.html |title=Records of the Plymouth Cordage Company (Coll. 133), History of the Plymouth Cordage Company|accessdate=2009-07-17|publisher=[[Mystic Seaport]] |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927202800/http://www.mysticseaport.org/library/Manuscripts/coll/coll133/coll133.html |archivedate = 2007-09-27}}</ref> The refurbished factory is home to numerous offices, restaurants, and stores, known as Cordage Commerce Center.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cordagecommercecenter.com/flash_content/property.htm|title=The Property, Property Highlights|accessdate=2007-07-31|publisher=Cordage Commerce Center |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927200523/http://www.cordagecommercecenter.com/flash_content/property.htm <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2007-09-27}}</ref>
===Modern history===
Plymouth has experienced rapid growth and development in recent years. It became more accessible to [[Boston]] in the early 1970s with improved railroads, highways, and bus routes, and the town's inexpensive land costs and low tax rates were factors in the town's significant population rise, which grew from 18,606 residents in 1970 to 45,608 residents in 1990, a 145% increase in 20 years.<ref name="top1620"/> Plymouth has surpassed several Massachusetts cities in population, but it is still officially regarded as a town and continues to be governed by a board of selectmen rather than a mayor.
Plymouth spans several exits on the town's primary highway [[Massachusetts Route 3]]. Additional access is possible via an extension to [[U.S. Route 44 in Massachusetts]].

Located in the [[Plymouth Pinelands]], the town of Plymouth has many distinct geographical features. The town's Atlantic coast is characterized by low plains, while its western sections are extremely hilly and forested. Plymouth contains several small ponds scattered throughout its western quadrant, the largest being the [[Great Herring Pond]] (which is partly in the town of Bourne).<ref name=gaz /> A major feature of the town is the [[Myles Standish State Forest]], which is in the southwestern region.<ref name=forest>{{cite web|url=http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/southeast/mssf.htm|title=Myles Standish State Forest|accessdate=2007-08-11 |publisher=Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation}}</ref> [[Camp Cachalot|Cachalot Scout Reservation]], operated by the Cachalot District of the Narragansett Council of the [[Boy Scouts of America]], lies adjacent to the state forest lands. There is also a smaller town forest, as well as several parks, recreation areas and beaches.
Plymouth has nine public beaches, the largest being [[Plymouth Beach, Massachusetts|Plymouth Beach]]. Plymouth Beach guards [[Plymouth Harbor]] and mostly consists of a three-mile (5 km) long, ecologically significant [[barrier beach]]. [[Clark's Island]], a small island in [[Plymouth Bay]], is the only island in Plymouth. It is off the coast of Saquish Neck and has nine summer houses but no year-round inhabitants.
==Climate==
[[File:Town Square Plymouth.JPG|thumb|right|[[The First Parish Church in Plymouth]] is located in Plymouth Center]]
Plymouth has a [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfb'') which is the predominant climate for Massachusetts. Due to its location on the [[Atlantic Ocean]], humidity levels can be very high year-round. Plymouth's coastal location causes it to experience warmer temperatures than many inland locations in New England.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/hzm-ne1.html|title=USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map|publisher=US Department of Agriculture - The United States National Arboretum|date=March 2, 2006|accessdate=2007-01-19|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150303152208/http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/hzm-ne1.html|archivedate=March 3, 2015}}</ref> Summers are typically hot and humid, while winters are cold, windy and often snowy.
Plymouth's warmest month is July, with an average high temperature of {{convert|80.6|°F|°C|abbr=on|lk=on}} and an average low of {{convert|61.6|°F|°C|abbr=on}}. The coldest month is January, with an average high temperature of {{convert|38.1|°F|°C|abbr=on}} and an average low of {{convert|20.1|°F|°C|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weatherall.php3?s=684691&units=|title=Plymouth, Massachusetts Average Temperature|accessdate=2014-04-15|publisher=Weatherbase}}</ref>
Much like the rest of the Northeastern seaboard, Plymouth receives ample amounts of precipitation year-round. On average, summer months receive slightly less precipitation than winter months. Plymouth averages about {{convert|47.4|in|cm}} of rainfall a year. Plymouth, like other coastal Massachusetts towns, is very vulnerable to [[Nor'easter]] weather systems. The town is sometimes vulnerable to Atlantic [[hurricane]]s and [[Tropical cyclone#Intensity classifications|tropical storms]], which infrequently threaten the Cape Cod region during the early autumn months.

===Plymouth Rock===
{{Main|Plymouth Rock}}
[[File:Plymouth Rock, Plymouth, MA, jjron 03.05.2012.jpg|right|thumb|[[Plymouth Rock]], inscribed with 1620, the year of the Pilgrims' landing in the ''[[Mayflower]]'']]
[[File:Plymouth Rock Monument.JPG|thumb|left|The [[Plymouth Rock]] Monument]]
Plymouth Rock is one of Plymouth's most famous attractions. Traditionally, the rock is said to be the disembarkation site of the [[Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]]. The first identification of Plymouth Rock as the actual landing site was made in 1741 by 94-year-old Thomas Faunce, whose father had arrived in Plymouth in 1623, three years after the arrival of the ''Mayflower''.<ref>Philbrick (2006) pp 351-356</ref> The rock is located roughly {{convert|650|ft|m}} from where the initial settlement was thought to be built.
Plymouth Rock became very famous after its identification as the supposed landing site of the Pilgrims, and was subsequently moved to a location in Plymouth Center. During the process, the rock split in two. It was later moved to [[Pilgrim Hall Museum|Pilgrim Hall]] and then to a location under a granite Victorian Canopy, where it was easily accessible and subject to souvenir hunters. The rock was finally moved back to its original location along the town's waterfront in 1921. "Plymouth Rock", a large boulder, now sits under the historic Plymouth Rock Portico. The Neo-Classical Revival structure was designed by the highly influential architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White, designers of the Boston Public Library, Rhode Island State House and the former Pennsylvania Station in New York City. Built in 1921 the existing granite portico replaced an earlier Gothic Revival style monument designed by Hammatt Billings (who also designed the National Monument to the Forefathers). In 1970 the Plymouth Rock Portico was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The rock and portico are the centerpiece of [[Pilgrim Memorial State Park]]. The park is the smallest park in the Massachusetts state forest and park system, but is also the most heavily visited.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/southeast/plgm.htm|title=Pilgrim Memorial State Park|accessdate=2007-08-11|publisher=Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation}}</ref>

[[Plimoth Plantation]] is a [[living history museum]] located south of Plymouth Center. It consists of a re-creation of the Plymouth settlement in 1627, as well as a replica of a 17th-century Wampanoag homesite. The museum features role playing tour guides, as well as a large crafts center. The Nye Barn, a replica of a 1627 farming homestead in Plymouth, is also part of the museum. The farm features several animals that would have been found in Plymouth Colony, but are very rare in modern times.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.plimoth.org/features/nye.php|title=The Nye Barn at Plimoth Plantation|accessdate=2007-07-31|publisher=Plimoth Plantation|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070726115348/http://www.plimoth.org/features/nye.php <!--Added by H3llBot-->|archivedate=2007-07-26}}</ref>
The museum opened in 1947 under the guidance of Henry Hornblower II, a wealthy Boston stockbroker who grew up in Plymouth.<ref>{{cite news| title=Henry Hornblower 2d (obituary)| author=Associated Press| newspaper=The New York Times| date=October 23, 1985| page=B6}}</ref> The museum originally consisted of the ''Mayflower II'' and a "First House" exhibit in Plymouth Center, but was expanded into a large fortified town and a Native American village by 1960.

[[File:Plymouth Mayflower II.jpg|thumb|right|The ''[[Mayflower II]]'', located in [[Plymouth Harbor]], is considered to be a faithful replica of the original ''[[Mayflower]]''.]]
The ''[[Mayflower II]]'' is a full-size replica of the ''[[Mayflower]]'', the ship which brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth in 1620. It is located at the State Pier in Plymouth Center. The ship is open as a museum about the Pilgrims' historic voyage from [[Plymouth]], England, and is considered a faithful replica of the original ''Mayflower''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/|title=Mayflower II|accessdate=2007-07-31|publisher=Plimoth Plantation|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070726115455/http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/|archivedate=2007-07-26}}</ref> It is officially a part of Plimoth Plantation.
The ship was built in [[Brixham]], England in 1956, and sailed to Plymouth across the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in 1957 by famous mariner [[Alan Villiers]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/journey/|title=The Journey of the Mayflower II|accessdate=2007-07-31|publisher=Plimoth Plantation|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070726120222/https://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/journey/|archive-date=2007-07-26|url-status=dead}}</ref> The ship is still [[Seakeeping|seaworthy]], and routinely takes voyages around Plymouth Harbor.

'''Plymouth''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|p|l|ɪ|m|ə|θ}}; historically known as '''Plimouth''' and '''Plimoth''') is a town in [[Plymouth County, Massachusetts]]. The town holds a place of great prominence in American history, folklore, and culture, and is known as "America's Hometown."

Located in the [[Plymouth Pinelands]], the town of Plymouth has many distinct geographical features. The town's Atlantic coast is characterized by low plains, while its western sections are extremely hilly and forested. Plymouth contains several small ponds scattered throughout its western quadrant, the largest being the [[Great Herring Pond]] (which is partly in the town of Bourne).<ref name=gaz /> A major feature of the town is the [[Myles Standish State Forest]], which is in the southwestern region.<ref name=forest>{{cite web|url=http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/southeast/mssf.htm|title=Myles Standish State Forest|accessdate=2007-08-11 |publisher=Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation}}</ref> [[Camp Cachalot|Cachalot Scout Reservation]], operated by the Cachalot District of the Narragansett Council of the [[Boy Scouts of America]], lies adjacent to the state forest lands. There is also a smaller town forest, as well as several parks, recreation areas and beaches.
Plymouth has nine public beaches, the largest being [[Plymouth Beach, Massachusetts|Plymouth Beach]]. Plymouth Beach guards [[Plymouth Harbor]] and mostly consists of a three-mile (5 km) long, ecologically significant [[barrier beach]]. [[Clark's Island]], a small island in [[Plymouth Bay]], is the only island in Plymouth. It is off the coast of Saquish Neck and has nine summer houses but no year-round inhabitants.
==Climate==
[[File:Town Square Plymouth.JPG|thumb|right|[[The First Parish Church in Plymouth]] is located in Plymouth Center]]
Plymouth has a [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfb'') which is the predominant climate for Massachusetts. Due to its location on the [[Atlantic Ocean]], humidity levels can be very high year-round. Plymouth's coastal location causes it to experience warmer temperatures than many inland locations in New England.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/hzm-ne1.html|title=USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map|publisher=US Department of Agriculture - The United States National Arboretum|date=March 2, 2006|accessdate=2007-01-19|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150303152208/http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/hzm-ne1.html|archivedate=March 3, 2015}}</ref> Summers are typically hot and humid, while winters are cold, windy and often snowy.
Plymouth's warmest month is July, with an average high temperature of {{convert|80.6|°F|°C|abbr=on|lk=on}} and an average low of {{convert|61.6|°F|°C|abbr=on}}. The coldest month is January, with an average high temperature of {{convert|38.1|°F|°C|abbr=on}} and an average low of {{convert|20.1|°F|°C|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weatherall.php3?s=684691&units=|title=Plymouth, Massachusetts Average Temperature|accessdate=2014-04-15|publisher=Weatherbase}}</ref>
Much like the rest of the Northeastern seaboard, Plymouth receives ample amounts of precipitation year-round. On average, summer months receive slightly less precipitation than winter months. Plymouth averages about {{convert|47.4|in|cm}} of rainfall a year. Plymouth, like other coastal Massachusetts towns, is very vulnerable to [[Nor'easter]] weather systems. The town is sometimes vulnerable to Atlantic [[hurricane]]s and [[Tropical cyclone#Intensity classifications|tropical storms]], which infrequently threaten the Cape Cod region during the early autumn months.

The town can be accessed from six exits on the highway, which is more than any other municipality along the Pilgrims Highway. Plymouth is also the eastern terminus of [[U.S. Route 44]]. The route has changed recently, as a new divided highway section has linked it to Route 3, before heading south and exiting at its old location before terminating at [[Massachusetts Route 3A (south)|Route 3A]], which more closely follows the shoreline and passes through Plymouth Center. [[Massachusetts Route 80|Route 80]]'s western terminus is at its intersection with old Route 44. [[Massachusetts Route 25|Route 25]] goes through a remote section of the town north of [[Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts|Buzzards Bay]], but does not have an exit. Finally, the short [[Plimoth Plantation Highway]] allows easy access between Routes 3 and 3A, with an exit that allows direct entry to [[Plimoth Plantation]]'s parking area. The highway is north of Manomet and south of Plymouth Center.

==Points of interest==
Promoted as ''America's Hometown'', Plymouth is a tourist destination noted for its heritage. The town is home to several notable sites.
===Plymouth Rock===
{{Main|Plymouth Rock}}
[[File:Plymouth Rock, Plymouth, MA, jjron 03.05.2012.jpg|right|thumb|[[Plymouth Rock]], inscribed with 1620, the year of the Pilgrims' landing in the ''[[Mayflower]]'']]
[[File:Plymouth Rock Monument.JPG|thumb|left|The [[Plymouth Rock]] Monument]]
Plymouth Rock is one of Plymouth's most famous attractions. Traditionally, the rock is said to be the disembarkation site of the [[Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]]. The first identification of Plymouth Rock as the actual landing site was made in 1741 by 94-year-old Thomas Faunce, whose father had arrived in Plymouth in 1623, three years after the arrival of the ''Mayflower''.<ref>Philbrick (2006) pp 351-356</ref> The rock is located roughly {{convert|650|ft|m}} from where the initial settlement was thought to be built.
Plymouth Rock became very famous after its identification as the supposed landing site of the Pilgrims, and was subsequently moved to a location in Plymouth Center. During the process, the rock split in two. It was later moved to [[Pilgrim Hall Museum|Pilgrim Hall]] and then to a location under a granite Victorian Canopy, where it was easily accessible and subject to souvenir hunters. The rock was finally moved back to its original location along the town's waterfront in 1921. "Plymouth Rock", a large boulder, now sits under the historic Plymouth Rock Portico. The Neo-Classical Revival structure was designed by the highly influential architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White, designers of the Boston Public Library, Rhode Island State House and the former Pennsylvania Station in New York City. Built in 1921 the existing granite portico replaced an earlier Gothic Revival style monument designed by Hammatt Billings (who also designed the National Monument to the Forefathers). In 1970 the Plymouth Rock Portico was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The rock and portico are the centerpiece of [[Pilgrim Memorial State Park]]. The park is the smallest park in the Massachusetts state forest and park system, but is also the most heavily visited.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/southeast/plgm.htm|title=Pilgrim Memorial State Park|accessdate=2007-08-11|publisher=Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation}}</ref>
===Plimoth Plantation===

[[Plimoth Plantation]] is a [[living history museum]] located south of Plymouth Center. It consists of a re-creation of the Plymouth settlement in 1627, as well as a replica of a 17th-century Wampanoag homesite. The museum features role playing tour guides, as well as a large crafts center. The Nye Barn, a replica of a 1627 farming homestead in Plymouth, is also part of the museum. The farm features several animals that would have been found in Plymouth Colony, but are very rare in modern times.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.plimoth.org/features/nye.php|title=The Nye Barn at Plimoth Plantation|accessdate=2007-07-31|publisher=Plimoth Plantation|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070726115348/http://www.plimoth.org/features/nye.php <!--Added by H3llBot-->|archivedate=2007-07-26}}</ref>
The museum opened in 1947 under the guidance of Henry Hornblower II, a wealthy Boston stockbroker who grew up in Plymouth.<ref>{{cite news| title=Henry Hornblower 2d (obituary)| author=Associated Press| newspaper=The New York Times| date=October 23, 1985| page=B6}}</ref> The museum originally consisted of the ''Mayflower II'' and a "First House" exhibit in Plymouth Center, but was expanded into a large fortified town and a Native American village by 1960.
===Mayflower II===

[[File:Plymouth Mayflower II.jpg|thumb|right|The ''[[Mayflower II]]'', located in [[Plymouth Harbor]], is considered to be a faithful replica of the original ''[[Mayflower]]''.]]
The ''[[Mayflower II]]'' is a full-size replica of the ''[[Mayflower]]'', the ship which brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth in 1620. It is located at the State Pier in Plymouth Center. The ship is open as a museum about the Pilgrims' historic voyage from [[Plymouth]], England, and is considered a faithful replica of the original ''Mayflower''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/|title=Mayflower II|accessdate=2007-07-31|publisher=Plimoth Plantation|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070726115455/http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/|archivedate=2007-07-26}}</ref> It is officially a part of Plimoth Plantation.

-[[File:Landing-Bacon.PNG|thumb|left|"The Landing of the Pilgrims."(1877) by Henry A. Bacon. The [[Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]] are traditionally said to have landed at [[Plymouth Rock]]]]
-Plymouth played a very important role in American colonial history. It was the final landing site of the first voyage of the ''[[Mayflower]]'' and the location of the original settlement of [[Plymouth Colony]]. Plymouth was established in December 1620 by English [[Puritans#Puritans and Separatists|separatist Puritans]] who had broken away from the [[Church of England]], believing that the Church had not completed the work of the [[Protestant Reformation]]. Today, these settlers are much better known as the "[[Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)|Pilgrims]]", a term coined by [[William Bradford (Plymouth governor)|William Bradford]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pilgrims.net/plymouth/history/ |title=Pilgrims: Plymouth Its History and People|accessdate=2009-07-17|publisher=Historical Reference Center |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080116043600/http://pilgrims.net/plymouth/history/ |archivedate = 2008-01-16}}</ref>

-The Mayflower first anchored in the harbor of [[Provincetown, Massachusetts]] on November 11, 1620. The ship was headed for the mouth of the Hudson River near [[Manhattan]], which was part of the [[Colony of Virginia]] at the time, but it did not go beyond [[Cape Cod]].<ref name=Philbrick>Philbrick, Nathaniel (2006).

New York: Penguin Group.</ref> The Pilgrim settlers realized that they did not have a patent to settle in the region, so they signed the [[Mayflower Compact]] prior to disembarking.<ref>Philbrick (2006) pp 41</ref> They explored various parts of Cape Cod and eventually sought a suitable location for a permanent settlement to the westward in [[Cape Cod Bay]]. They discovered the sheltered waters of [[Plymouth Harbor]] on December 17, and the protected bay led to a site for the new settlement after three days of surveying.
-
-The settlers officially disembarked on December 21, 1620. It is traditionally said that the Pilgrims first set foot in America at the site of [[Plymouth Rock]], though no historical evidence can prove this claim.<ref>Johnson, Paul (1997). A History of the American People. New York: HarperCollins.</ref> They named their settlement "Plimouth" (sometimes spelled "Plimoth") after the [[Plymouth|major port city]] in [[Devon|Devon, England]] from which the ''Mayflower'' ultimately sailed.

-
-==== First Winter ====
-Plymouth faced many difficulties during its first winter, the most notable being the risk of starvation and the lack of suitable shelter. From the beginning, the assistance of Native Americans was vital. One colonist's journal reports:<ref name=Loewen91>Loewen, 1995, p. 91</ref>
-<blockquote>We marched to the place we called Cornhill, where we had found the corn before. At another place we had seen before, we dug and found some more corn, two or three baskets full, and a bag of beans. ... In all we had about ten bushels, which will be enough for seed. It is with God's help that we found this corn, for how else could we have done it, without meeting some Indians who might trouble us.</blockquote>
-During their earlier exploration of the Cape, the Pilgrims had come upon a Native American burial site which contained corn, and they had taken the corn for future planting. On another occasion, they found an unoccupied house and had taken corn and beans, for which they made restitution with the occupants about six months later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mith.umd.edu/eada/html/display.php?docs=bradford_history.xml|title=Of Plymouth Plantation - Early Americas Digital Archive (EADA)|website=mith.umd.edu}}</ref>
-Even greater assistance came from [[Samoset]] and [[Squanto|Tisquantum]] (known as Squanto by the pilgrims), a Native American sent by [[Wampanoag (tribe)|Wampanoag Tribe]] [[Massasoit|Chief Massasoit]] as an ambassador and technical adviser. Squanto had been kidnapped in 1614 by an English slave raider and sold in [[Málaga]], Spain. He learned English, escaped slavery, and returned home in 1619. He taught the colonists how to farm corn, where and how to catch fish, and other helpful skills for the New World. He also was instrumental in the survival of the settlement for the first two years.
-
-Squanto and another guide sent by Massasoit in 1621 named [[Hobomok]] helped the colonists set up trading posts for furs.<ref>Loewen, 1995, pp. 92-93</ref> Chief Massasoit later formed a Peace Treaty with the Pilgrims. Upon growing a plentiful harvest in the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims gathered with Squanto, Samoset, Massasoit, and ninety other Wampanoag men in a celebration of thanksgiving to God for their plentiful harvest. This celebration is known today as the [[Thanksgiving (United States)#1621 Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims at Plymouth|First Thanksgiving]], and is still commemorated annually in downtown Plymouth with a parade and a reenactment. Since 1941, [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] has been observed as a [[federal holiday]] in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|last = Wilson|first = Jerry|title = The Thanksgiving Story|work = Holiday Page|publisher = Wilstar.com|year = 2001|url = http://wilstar.com/holidays/thankstr.htm|accessdate = 2007-07-31}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title = History of Thanksgiving: A Timeline|publisher = Twoop.com|year = 2006|url = http://www.twoop.com/holidays/archives/2005/11/thanksgiving.html|accessdate = 2007-07-31}}</ref>

-===Modern history===
-Plymouth has experienced rapid growth and development in recent years. It became more accessible to [[Boston]] in the early 1970s with improved railroads, highways, and bus routes, and the town's inexpensive land costs and low tax rates were factors in the town's significant population rise, which grew from 18,606 residents in 1970 to 45,608 residents in 1990, a 145% increase in 20 years.<ref name="top1620"/> Plymouth has surpassed several Massachusetts cities in population, but it is still officially regarded as a town and continues to be governed by a board of selectmen rather than a mayor.
-
-Plymouth spans several exits on the town's primary highway [[Massachusetts Route 3]]. Additional access is possible via an extension to [[U.S. Route 44 in Massachusetts]].

<p>Plymouth has a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Humid_continental_climate" title="Humid continental climate">humid continental climate</a> (<i>Dfb</i>) which is the predominant climate for Massachusetts. Due to its location on the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Atlantic_Ocean" title="Atlantic Ocean">Atlantic Ocean</a>, humidity levels can be very high year-round. Plymouth's coastal location causes it to experience warmer temperatures than many inland locations in New England.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a></sup> Summers are typically hot and humid, while winters are cold, windy and often snowy.
</p><p>Plymouth's warmest month is July, with an average high temperature of 80.6 <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Fahrenheit" title="Fahrenheit">°F</a> (27.0 <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Celsius" title="Celsius">°C</a>) and an average low of 61.6 °F (16.4 °C). The coldest month is January, with an average high temperature of 38.1 °F (3.4 °C) and an average low of 20.1 °F (−6.6 °C).<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup>
</p><p>Much like the rest of the Northeastern seaboard, Plymouth receives ample amounts of precipitation year-round. On average, summer months receive slightly less precipitation than winter months. Plymouth averages about 47.4 inches (120 cm) of rainfall a year. Plymouth, like other coastal Massachusetts towns, is very vulnerable to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Nor%27easter" title="Nor'easter">Nor'easter</a> weather systems. The town is sometimes vulnerable to Atlantic <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Hurricane" class="mw-redirect" title="Hurricane">hurricanes</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Tropical_cyclone#Intensity_classifications" title="Tropical cyclone">tropical storms</a>, which infrequently threaten the Cape Cod region during the early autumn months.

<p>Plymouth Rock is one of Plymouth's most famous attractions. Traditionally, the rock is said to be the disembarkation site of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pilgrims_(Plymouth_Colony)" title="Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)">Pilgrims</a>. The first identification of Plymouth Rock as the actual landing site was made in 1741 by 94-year-old Thomas Faunce, whose father had arrived in Plymouth in 1623, three years after the arrival of the <i>Mayflower</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-56" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a></sup> The rock is located roughly 650 feet (200 m) from where the initial settlement was thought to be built.
</p><p>Plymouth Rock became very famous after its identification as the supposed landing site of the Pilgrims, and was subsequently moved to a location in Plymouth Center. During the process, the rock split in two. It was later moved to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pilgrim_Hall_Museum" title="Pilgrim Hall Museum">Pilgrim Hall</a> and then to a location under a granite Victorian Canopy, where it was easily accessible and subject to souvenir hunters. The rock was finally moved back to its original location along the town's waterfront in 1921. "Plymouth Rock", a large boulder, now sits under the historic Plymouth Rock Portico. The Neo-Classical Revival structure was designed by the highly influential architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White, designers of the Boston Public Library, Rhode Island State House and the former Pennsylvania Station in New York City. Built in 1921 the existing granite portico replaced an earlier Gothic Revival style monument designed by Hammatt Billings (who also designed the National Monument to the Forefathers). In 1970 the Plymouth Rock Portico was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The rock and portico are the centerpiece of <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pilgrim_Memorial_State_Park" title="Pilgrim Memorial State Park">Pilgrim Memorial State Park</a>. The park is the smallest park in the Massachusetts state forest and park system, but is also the most heavily visited.<sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a></sup>
