Plymouth is a city in and the county seat of Marshal County, Indiana. Before European establishment, the area was part of the Potawatomi Native Americans' territory. In 1836, Marshall County was formed with the arrival of many settlers from New England. Two years later, the Potawatomi people were forced to leave the area in the Potawatomi Trail of Death.
In 1851, the Town of Plymouth was incorporated. It was named after Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the Mayflower landed in 1620. Following the Reconstruction Era, the town, like many others in Indiana, was a sundown town. There were many signs near the northern city limits that read "Blacks out of town by sundown." This is because the city of South Bend, which had a large population of African Americans, was situated just north of Plymouth on U.S. Route 31. These signs remained up in the city until the mid-1960s when the banning of racial discrimination in the sale, financing and rental of housing was issued in the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
