Downtown Plymouth has served as the center of commerce and social gathering for the City of Plymouth and surrounding communities for more than 150 years. There is a rich history of people and architecture combining to make downtown what it is today.

In 1982, the Downtown Development Authority was formed to facilitate economic development for the downtown district through the building and maintenance of parking lots, street lighting and other streetscape features.
