This gentleman said the tomato had been very popular, making the rounds of county fairs on the Cape for over 40 years. When Jeanne share it with SSE in 2008, she simply called it 'Italian Plum', so SSE revised the name to 'Cape Cod Italian Plum' to help differentiate it from other plum tomato strains.
