"The first meeting for the purpose of forming a town board was held at the home of Francis Day on May 11, 1858. At this meeting he was elected as the first assessor of Plymouth township. It was decided also at this meeting that the name of the township would be Plymouth - taken from the name of a village laid out on the northwest shore of Parkers Lake in 1856."
