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.

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.
