They landed north of the Virginia Colony’s boundary.  The Pilgrims decided to settle on Cape Cod Bay, even though it wasn’t part of the Virginia Colony. Because of this, the Pilgrims had to form their own government. They created a plan for government called the Mayflower Compact. The Pilgrims called their settlement Plymouth.
