History
 Main Street and Kellogg Park The first settlers to come to what is now known as Plymouth, Michigan, were Keziah (Benjamin) and William Starkweather. Farmers from Preston, Connecticut., they purchased 240 acres of land from the United States Government on March 11, 1825, for $1.25 an acre. The Starkweather clan had lived in Preston at least as early as 1694, according to records of a land gift in which Captain John Masons gave land to Robert Starkweather, Williams GG Grandfather. William, ninth born of 11 siblings, and his wife Keziah brought their first born son Albert to the area, and built the first home in Plymouth, at the South West Corner of Main Street and Ann Arbor Trail. The first home was a rustic lean to, and was later replaced by a log cabin which has since been lost to time. William's eldest Son Albert died at age 20 while attending the newly formed University of Michigan as a Sophomore. George Anson Starkweather, Williams Second born, was the first non native American born within the boundaries of what is now known as the City of Plymouth. His father William died at 44 years of age, from Typhoid, and his mother Keziah two years later, leaving their eldest son George at 20 years of age.

George's Grandson, Karl Hillmer Starkweather (who changed his name from Karl Starkweather Hillmer to carry on his mother's maiden name, which did not work out as planned because Karl had all female offspring), was a respected and lifelong Plymouth resident and local historian, and Ford Motor Company employee at the Wilcox Lake Tap Plant in which he was shop steward, passed away on May 1, 1969. His father, Lewis Hillmer also served as Village President for a time. Notable streets in Plymouth are named after some Starkweather family members including Blanch, Karmada (after the brothers Karl - Max and Davis), Davis, Starkweather (formerly Oak Street), Ameila and Rose. Starkweather Elementary School was named after George Anson Starkweather of Plymouth, which has been recently converted to an adult education center. It was the first elementary school built in Plymouth largely through the efforts of grandson Karl Starkweather, who promoted the need for a ward school in Plymouth to local residents. He was also instrumental in the establishing of the Plymouth Historical Society Museum, and his mother, George's Daughter Mary K Starkweather - Hillmer, was a charter member of such. Karl's youngest brother, Davis B. Hillmer, was a respected Commercial Photographer in Detroit and the primary freelance photographer for the J L Hudson company and also did work for the Automotive industry, and brother Max Hillmer was president of both Delco Remy and Saginaw Steering Gear Divisions of General Motors.
Daisy Outdoor Products started in 1882 as Plymouth Iron Windmill Company in Plymouth, Michigan. Skysmith 14:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC) Category: ...
In 1886, Plymouth inventor Clarence Hamilton introduced a new idea to the windmill company. It was a combination of metal and wire, vaguely resembling a gun that could fire a lead ball using compressed air. Lewis Cass Hough, then president of the firm, gave it a try and, after his first shot, enthusiastically exclaimed, "Boy, that's a daisy!"
The name stuck and the BB gun went into production as a premium item given to farmers when they purchased a windmill. The gun was such a huge success that Plymouth Iron Windmill soon began manufacturing the Daisy BB gun in place of windmills. On January 26, 1895 the company's board of directors officially voted to change the name to Daisy Manufacturing Company, Inc. Steel BBs BB guns are a type of air gun designed to fire spherical projectiles, called BBs, usually from a smoothbore barrel. ...
Much to the dismay of Plymouth residents, Daisy moved their corporate offices and manufacturing facilities from Plymouth to Rogers, Arkansas in 1958.
In 2003, the former Daisy factory was converted to Daisy Square Condominiums. Though close enough to the railroad tracks to shake you out of bed in the morning, they still continue to sell apace. The front wall of the Daisy factory was left standing to be built into the apartment building, but still is free-standing since the completion of the building.
