Concord MA Community Profile & History
Concord, Massachusetts is a historic town in Middlesex County. The community was settled early by the English as a frontier outpost of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was the first interior, non-tidal water town in Massachusetts. The town still retains many well-preserved colonial houses, nine of them on or near the village green and witnesses of the famous Battle of Concord. Just 20 minutes' drive from Boston, the town boasts gorgeous natural and man-made scenery, a bounty of cultural and historic attractions, and some of the best public schools in the state.
The area that now comprises the town was originally known as "Musketaquid", situated at the confluence of the Sudbury and Assabet rivers. Native Americans had cultivated corn crops there; the rivers were rich with fish and the land was lush and arable. However, the area was largely depopulated by the smallpox plague that swept across the Americas after the arrival of Europeans. In 1635, a group of British settlers led by Rev. Peter Bulkley and Simon Willard negotiated a land purchase with the remnants of the local tribe; that six-square-mile purchase formed the basis of the new town, which was called "Concord" in appreciation of the peaceful acquisition.
The town is forever etched in history, along with neighboring Lexington, as the site of the very first battle in the American Revolutionary War. On April 19, 1775, a force of British Army regulars marched from Boston to Concord (after an early-morning skirmish at Lexington) to capture a cache of arms that was reportedly stored in the town. Forewarned of the British troop movements, colonists from Concord and surrounding towns repulsed a British detachment at the Old North Bridge and forced the British troops to retreat.
The town also boasts a significant literary history. Louisa May Alcott, Bronson Alcott, Emerson and Hawthorne lived in the town at one time or another and Thoreau wrote his internationally known philosophical treatise at Walden Pond in Concord.
In its early years, the community evolved from a frontier town into a prosperous regional center with a mixed society including small yeoman farmers, affluent gentry and immigrants from Italy and Norway. Dozens of high-style, handsome antique houses still stand as relics of this prosperous era alongside beautiful country estates. Today, this affluent community prides itself on its natural beauty, the safety of its residents and the excellence of its public school system.
