The history of Plymouth and Washington County is deeply rooted in early American development, starting as a 17th-century trading post. The opening of the Dismal Swamp Canal in 1805 transformed Plymouth into a bustling port connected to Norfolk, Virginia. The area played a significant role during the Civil War, with local enlistments on both sides leading to intense battles. Today, visitors are drawn to its natural beauty for activities like boating and bird-watching, as well as exploring Civil War sites and maritime heritage.
