New Plimoth, or Plimoth Plantation, was the first community founded by English Pilgrims on Cape Cod Bay in 1620. The initial core settlement of New Plimoth, included four primary areas:

The Enclosure: A palisade built around modern Leyden Street, which served as the primary gated residential village where the Pilgrims built their timber-framed family homes and shared storehouses.

Fort Hill: Standing 165 feet above sea level at the highest point directly above the town, this hill held the two-story timber fort-meetinghouse. After the settlement expanded, it became the historic burying ground known today as Burial Hill.

Town Creek (now Town Brook): A vital freshwater stream that ran directly along the south side of the town. It was the lifeblood of the colony, providing fresh drinking water, hosting seasonal herring runs for food, and later serving as the site for their first grist mills.

Cole's Hill: The low-lying ridge right on the harbor shore, sitting directly above the waterfront where the "Great Rock" (Plymouth Rock) is located. It served as the community's very first, secret burial ground during the devastating winter of 1620-1621 when nearly half the Mayflower passengers passed away. - AsNotedIn
