Plymouth where!?

I suppose you mean Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA!.

Incorporated in 1795, the Town of Plymouth owes its beginnings to the foresight of such manufacturers as Eli Terry, Seth Thomas and Silas Hoadley!. The manufacture of clocks first gave Plymouth national recognition!. Eventually Seth Thomas moved from Plymouth Center to Plymouth Hollow (now Thomaston) to continue the trade!. Eli Terry, Jr!. carried the Terry name eastward to (now) Terryville where clocks, and beginning in 1830 locks, were manufactured through harnessing the power of the Pequabuck River!. The latter enterprise became known as the Eagle Lock Company, which enjoyed a worldwide reputation and employed some 1,800 persons at its peak!.

Early Plymouth -
Before it was Plymouth, but once it was forests, fields and the favorite hunting grounds of the Native Americans!. New settlers were lured here first by the promise of a mine of black lead and were granted the right to work it by the Tunxis Indians!. Lead Mine Brook bears its name but the hoped for wealth was not realized and the mine was abandoned!. The area was pristine but also a rough region of rocks, ledges, hills, swamps, and woods with very few meager trails as even the Native Americans rarely traversed this portion of what later became Plymouth and its surrounding communities!. The Native Americans considered this a hunting reserve and called the pond and adjoining area of Allentown , “Indian Heaven” for its excellent hunting!. Allentown was also known for corn fields and vegetable gardens tended by Indian women in summer!. Fall Mountain was originally named for an Indian whose name sounded like “Fall” to the white settlers as was Poland Brook!. Pequabuck, according to the Native Americans, was, “stony river!.”

Early Plymouth was a forested area, with sparse population and hunting grounds for settlers and Native Americans alike!. The land, water courses and friendly Indians drew settlers to the fertile, open Connecticut valley!. In the early days, it took a week to travel from what became Southington to Plymouth and Terryville!Www@QuestionHome@Com
