Plymouth, MA, located in Plymouth County, is a coastal town in the greater Boston area, about 40 miles south of Boston. Founded in 1620 by the Mayflower Pilgrims, it is the oldest municipality in New England and is often called “America’s Hometown” due to its historical significance as the site of the first Thanksgiving.
Initially a hub for rope-making, fishing, and shipping, Plymouth's economy now thrives on tourism, drawn by its rich history, charming downtown, and scenic coastal views. The town also features diverse residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, and numerous beaches along Cape Cod Bay.
