Who founded Plymouth and what year was it?
Roanoke Island by the brother of Sir Walter Raleigh, Gilbert Raleigh. This colony did not succeed.
Who was the pilgrim governor of the colony and the mayflower?
The famous governor of Plymouth Colony was William Bradford, who later wrote the history of their journey. He was not, however, the first governor of Plymouth, nor the "governor of the Mayflower." John Carver was voted, or confirmed, governor of Plymouth Colony after the signing of the Mayflower Compact. He died during the first year and Bradford was elected. There was also Christopher Martin who was "governor" of the Mayflower, something that had been decided before departure. This only meant he had been put in charge of getting provisions and organizing, though he was heavily criticized for his lack of skills by Bradford and others.
When did the pilgrims settle in Plymouth?
The colony was settled in the year 1620 and 1621. Perhaps a New Year or close to one. Also Plymouth was settled by John Smith and the Pilgrims. :-) :-) :-) :-) be happy.
The year the pilgrims landed at Plymouth?
1620 was the year that the pilgrims landed at Plymouth. The landed near the site of modern Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod.
What happened in 1607 to Plymouth?
I'm not sure anything of significance happened at Plymouth in 1607. In 1620 people we now call Pilgrims landed at Plymouth on a ship named the Mayflower and formed the first self sustaining British colony in North America. Then in 1621 they had a harvest feast with the Native Americans who had helped them survive that first year. Today we celebrate this event as Thanksgiving.
