Abstract:

Area planter Arthur Rhodes Founded what was to become Plymouth in 1787. It was the first incorporated town in the newly formed Washington County in 1807. The town saw significant military activity during the Civil War. Weyerhaeuser added greatly to the local economy in 1937. Selling a portion of this business in 2007 to Domtar led to an unfortunate 33 percent reduction in the workforce. Town historian Tom Harrison notes current rebranding efforts
