About Plymouth, Michigan

Plymouth is a walkable, affluent western suburb of Detroit built around Kellogg Park, a leafy downtown town square ringed by more than 75 boutiques and restaurants. It was the birthplace of the Daisy BB gun and is famous today for hosting the largest ice-carving festival in North America. Historic, independent, and surrounded by (but separate from) Plymouth Township, it blends small-town charm with metro-Detroit polish.

History of Plymouth

• First settled in 1825 by Luther Lincoln, who built a sawmill near the Rouge River.
• Incorporated as a village in 1867 and became a city in 1932.
• George A. Starkweather persuaded the Detroit and Howell Railroad to run through town in the 1860s; after his 1907 death, Oak Street was renamed Starkweather in his honor, and many downtown streets carry Starkweather-family names.
