About Wayne County
Communities » City of Plymouth
The City
of Plymouth is located in the Northwest portion of the county just
south of Northville Township. Originally a crossroad of Indian trails,
it became a trading center for the surrounding area.
With the arrival of modern transportation modes, population and
industry both grew. Today, with both Interstate 96 and 275 Freeways
completed, industrial growth has proceeded to develop westward along
the M-14 corridor which extends to Ann Arbor.
The C&O Railroad has lines running both north-south and parallel
to M-14.
The City remains the focus of local commercial activities with strip
development along Ann Arbor Road, Ann Arbor Trail, and Main Street.
