nov 9, 1620 - Plymouth Colony Established
Description:
Plymouth, Massachusetts, (population 492,066) was founded in 1620 by English settlers known as Separatists, who had fled England to establish a Utopian community where they could practice their religion freely. While on board the Mayflower, they established the rules for governing the new colony. The religious freedom motivation for founding Plymouth was very different from the Jamestown colony's economic motivation.Added to timeline:
