Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plymouth Colony (sometimes Plimouth ) was, from 1620 to 1691, the first permanent English colony in New England and the second permanent English colony in North America, after the Jamestown Colony.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Plymouth Colony (1620-1691 CE) was the first English settlement in the region of modern-day New England in the United States, settled by the religious separatists known as the “pilgrims” who crossed the Atlantic Ocean on the Mayflower in 1620 CE.
