Linus Plimpton served as president of Plimpton Manufacturing Company from 1872 until his death in 1904. He had founded the company with three partners in 1865 as Prescott, Plimpton & Company. After moving the company, and himself, to Hartford, he bought William Prescott's interest in the company in 1866 and renamed it L. B. Plimpton & Company. He renamed the company again in 1872, at which point it became Plimpton Manufacturing Company, and it existed in some form or another under that name until 1947.
