Ah, very true! I will admit to it being a personal quibble then - English and American Plymouth shall never be much a factor in each other's existence, but my own mapmaking and Civilization playing suffers from repeating so many exact-same names.![]()
And that's including the fact that there were many towns in the Colony by the time it was merged with Massachusetts Bay - the state would likely be called Plymouth, but the capital would likely not be Plymouth. With the exception of Massachusetts (which has its capital in Boston), every capital of the 13 colonies was located in the interior of the colony or on a sheltered bay (and technically, Boston is shielded in that way). Plymouth could be the largest city, or it could not be, but Plymouth as a town would not be the capital.
