Plymouth, Michigan

[10][11] Since 2008, Plymouth has been home to the Green Street Fair, held over a weekend each May.

In 1825, Luther Lincoln was granted two land patents in what is now Plymouth by the federal government.

Lincoln built his place of business, his saw mill, and abode, near the eastern boundary of his land, along the Rouge River.

William and his wife Keziah brought their firstborn son Albert to the area and built the first home in Plymouth, at what is now the southwest corner of Main Street and Ann Arbor Trail.

George felt that the railroad coming to North Village would give it a commercial advantage over the Kellogg Park area.

Starkweather was responsible for cutting Oak Street North through his farm in order to reach his new store and the train station.

In 1886 Plymouth inventor Clarence Hamilton introduced a new idea to the windmill company.

It was a combination of metal and wire, vaguely resembling a gun that could fire a lead ball using compressed air.

Lewis Cass Hough, then president of the firm, gave it a try and, after his first shot, enthusiastically exclaimed, "Boy, that's a daisy!"

The name stuck, and the BB gun went into production as a premium item given to farmers when they purchased a windmill.

On January 26, 1895, the company's board of directors officially voted to change the name to Daisy Manufacturing Company, Inc.[20][21] Much to the dismay of Plymouth residents, Daisy moved its corporate offices and manufacturing facilities from Plymouth to Rogers, Arkansas in 1958.

The front wall of the Daisy factory was left standing to be built into the apartment building.

[23] In 2009 Plymouth Township was named 28th Best Place to Live in the United States by CNN Money Magazine.

The township receives $1 million from the city, making up 25% of the consolidated fire department's budget.

Graduate certificates, master's and doctoral degrees focus on Bible, theology, and practical ministry training.
