History
Plymouth was surveyed in 1835 by US engineers, one named Mullet, and the river Mullet later named after him. The first land sold to private parties was sold to an Englishman named John Law who had emigrated from London. It was sold to the Act on August 13, 1836. The next sale was to another Englishman, also from London, named Thomas Margrave. Settlers continued to flow and the city was organized on April 3, 1849. In the 1840s a group of immigrants arrived from Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Their ancestors had moved to the area from New England shortly after the American Revolution. The Thorpe family arrived from Hartford, Connecticut. They are ancient New England ancestors. These immigrants became a collection of indigenous settlers in Plymouth providing cultural continuity of the region with New England. The town was named Plymouth, after Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the pilgrims had landed in 1620.
Originally known to Native Americans as early as Quit Qui Oc, or Crooked River, Plymouth was founded in 1845 by Isaac Thorp and founded in 1877. The city is often called the "Hub City" because of its strategic location within the Sheboygan region, but the nickname " Hub City "began in the 1860s when the Schwartz brothers owned a wagon shop where they made carts, hubs and spokes.
