The City
The guide was updated:
Concord was born of a scuffle between two factions of settlers who sought to determine where the location of Cabarrus County’s seat should lie. Following the area’s original 1750 settlement, the German and Scots-Irish settlers engaged in impassioned disagreements over the newly formed Cabarrus County. However and thankfully, the two sides were able to reach a consensus in 1796, leading to the creation of “Concord” on a 26-acre site. To honor their agreement, they named the city so in recognition of newfound “harmony.”
Today much of Concord’s appeal thrives in the Historic Downtown. Spanning a radius of two city blocks, the Downtown boasts 2 live theatres, 1 museum, 2 art galleries, 1 24-hour pottery studio, 1 botanical garden, a university, a pedestrian greenway system—and a gourmet French chocolate shop! There is also a comfortable combination of specialty shops and restaurants.
