Plymouth History
Plymouth was first settled in 1825 and became a city in 1932. The railroad station was built in 1871. Plymouth is one of the few spots in Michigan where train tracks went north, south, east, and wet. The city was named for it's historical ties to Plymouth Massachusetts. Many of the settlers in Plymouth, Mi came from Plymouth Massachusetts. Plymouth almost was named "Leroy".
Plymouth has been a hub of Michigan industry. There has been a soap factory, cigar making factory, spring water sales, and the most famous "the daisy bb gun". Plymouth was once the "air rifle capital of the world" they first made the BB gun as a gift to farmers when the bought a windmill. The air rifles were so popular that they quit making windmills and just made BB guns. One of the most popular guns made in Plymouth was the "Red Ryder" One of the outside walls of the Daisy rifle factory still stands. It is now part of the Daisy Condos. The condos are just a short walk to downtown Plymouth.

I am walking in the Tampa 3 day cancer walk in October. Support cancer research by going to www.the3day.org/goto/marianneravary and donate as much as you can. My wife got to live 20 years after finding out she had breast cancer due to advances in cancer treatment. Be part of the team and help me. I would like to be able to give some other "special lady" (like my wife Marianne) more days on this earth. If we can give another lady another night to enjoy with friends, an extra week to laugh & hug her kids, an extra month to love her spouse, or an extra year then our money will be going to a good cause. The grants from the Susan G Komen 3 day walk have been instrumental in cancer research. Help me give more time to somebody else please donate to the 3day walk. Thanks

Hi Russ,
That's a very interesting synopsis of Plymouth's history! I especially liked the part about the Daisy Rifle Factory wall now being part of a condo called the Daisy condos.
