The Separatist church congregation that came to be known as the Pilgrims was from the town of Scrooby in Nottinghamshire, England. More: The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts. Here's where Where did the Pilgrims settle? After a dozen years spent in the Netherlands for religious freedom, the Separatists decided to journey to the New World, planning to settle
