Well, because it was the first place where the Pilgrims from Great Britain landed in 1620. The Pilgrims ship The Mayflower sailed for quite the time before it reached what's now known as Plymouth. Because this was the only land any one in Europe new about in waht would soon be America, more settlers came from Europe and expanded their territory, building more and more towns as the population grew.
