About PLYMOUTH, CT (Including the villages of Terryville & Peqaubuck)
Plymouth, CT is a small town located in Litchfield County, Connecticut; with a population of fewer than 13,000. The town of Plymouth was incorporated in 1795 and operates with a Mayor and Town Council form of government. In its earliest years, a clock-making partnership between Eli Terry, Seth Thomas & Silas Hoadley gained national recognition for Plymouth.Plymouth once boasted the Eagle Lock Company, a nationally-known lock business active from its formation in 1854 until 1975, as well as many other major industries in its time. Rich with history, the character of early Plymouth is still present in this small New England town. Plymouth is a community that cares about preserving its history and securing its future.
Plymouth still boasts smaller companies today; however, it is the “small town feel” that continues to attract families to Plymouth. Most recently when the Plymouth Early Childhood Council went out into its community, it asked folks in focus groups and surveys: What are the advantages or assets of living in Plymouth? Some of the noteworthy comments were: “small community”, “parents support each other and communicate”, “good school system”, “library” and more.
