 Concord's history dates back over 200 years. Back in the late 1700's, it seems there was a disagreement between the German and Scots-Irish settlements in the area over exactly where the County seat of the newly formed county of Cabarrus should be located. A compromise was eventually reached, and the new city was founded in 1796 on a 26 acre site. The city was named Concord, meaning "harmony," to reflect the spirit in which the issue was settled.

From the mid 1800's to 1920, Concord became a booming textile and banking center and today, they have a diverse economic basis that includes distribution, manufacturing, racing, medical, and professional services.

Since 1990, the total population has more than doubled to more than 61,000 people and, we have expanded geographically from 23 square miles in 1990 to more than 51 today. This continued growth of our city is supported by our comprehensive infrastructure and services, all of which help to enhance the quality of life for our residents.

When you look at Concord today and see the wonderful mixture of progress and heritage, the perfect blend of business, industrial, and residential life, you can see that Concord still embodies the meaning of its name - "harmony."
