Plymouth Colony was founded by English Pilgrims seeking religious freedom. They originally intended to settle in the Virginia area but were blown off course by rough seas during their voyage on the Mayflower in 1620. Instead, they landed at Cape Cod, where they ultimately decided to establish their colony, primarily due to the suitable harbor and resources found in the area, as well as the presence of Native American tribes. They formally settled at Plymouth, which became the colony's namesake.
