Plymouth

Plymouth is a city in northern Indiana along the Yellow River that serves as the county seat of Marshall County. The town spreads across a compact area with simple streets and a population just over ten thousand, making it easy to walk around and explore.

The area was home to the Potawatomi people until they were forced to leave in 1838 during a forced march over 600 miles. New England settlers arrived in the 1800s and named the town after their home region, establishing permanent communities here.

Plymouth takes its name from a town in Massachusetts, reflecting the connection to New England settlers who arrived in the 1800s. The city honors this heritage while also remembering the Potawatomi people who lived on these lands long before European settlement.

The city is laid out compactly along the Yellow River with parks and recreational facilities that are easy to reach on foot. Nearby Culver on Lake Maxinkuckee with its beaches and local restaurants is just a short drive away and complements the area for day trips.

A memorial on Peach Road honors Chief Menominee and his Potawatomi companions who were removed during the 1838 forced march. This monument stands as an important place to reflect on a difficult period of American history.
