A brief introduction to Plymouth

Plymouth, located in Massachusetts on the east coast of the United States, 4 miles south of Boston, was the second British colony to successfully enter the United States after Jamestown, Virginia. In December 162, may flower arrived in Plymouth Bay with 12 colonists and Puritans. After a long winter, he landed in March 1621 and established Plymouth colony. Unlike Jamestown, Plymouth was not an official colonial institution sent by the British Empire, so the management of the colony was decided by the colonists themselves. But Plymouth Colony was eventually annexed by Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691.

The name Plymouth comes from Plymouth, a city in southwest England.

The first Thanksgiving in American history is also celebrated here.

Plymouth today is a famous tourist attraction because of its history. Numerous museums, monuments and historical sites attract tourists every year. A reef used as a marker when immigrants landed, and a replica of the original may flower are the two most important attractions.
