Welcome to Concord

A city that goes by the motto, “High Performance Living,” Concord certainly lives up to the billing. As one of the top cities with the fastest growing economies in America, the Cabarrus County seat is a viable residential alternative to the city of Charlotte.

With a population of roughly 90,000, Concord maintains Charlotte’s urban conveniences and economic opportunities in a less crowded location just 25 miles northeast of Charlotte.

Concord was first formed with the arrival of German Lutheran and Scotch-Irish Presbyterian settlers in the 1750s. The original town, founded in 1796, stretched across 26 acres. It was later incorporated in 1806. Its name – which is synonymous with harmony – resulted from the resolution of a lengthy dispute on where the county seat should be located.

Crop farming, textiles, and banking anchored Concord’s growth in the 1800s through the early 1900s. Today, the local economy is fueled by shipping and transportation, manufacturing, motorsports, and the service industry.
