History of Concord, North Carolina

A story circulates about the origin of Concord in which two towns were vying to be made thecounty seat of the newly-created Cabarrus County. The powers that were decided to build a newtown between those other two and make this new town the county seat, in order to bring Concordto the dispute. Thus, the town of Concord was founded.
