History of Concord

As the story goes, Concord’s origination begins in the late 1700’s, when two towns were vying to become the county seat of the newly-created Cabarrus County.

To diffuse the situation, it was decided that a new town would be created between the two, and that would become the new county seat. Because the decision was made in order to bring concord to the dispute, the town of “Concord” was founded. Concord also means harmony, agreement and friendship.

It explains why the name is pronounced like the word, rather than like it is in Concord, New Hampshire, pronounced “conquered”.
