History
In 1878, Swedish immigrants mostly from the Essex, IA area, moved this way after the extension of the railroad from Sioux City. Concord was platted in 1883 soon after the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway was extended to that point. The real reasoning behind its name is unknown. Old Timers said that it was named by a wife of a railroad worker who thought the area was quiet and peaceful. It may also be named after the Battle of Concord of the American Revolutionary War. The wife of the president of the railroad may have named it after a bridge in Massachusetts. Early immigrants of Concord were predominately of Lutheran Religious backgrounds as the Catholics settled in nearby Dixon. The sale of Alcohol has never been permitted in city limits. Farming was the main source of income for many nearby residents, but the town has boasted a lumber yard, barber shop, grocery store, cafe, blacksmith, bank, auto shop, gas station and hotel. Concord High School closed in 1958. Their mascot was the Vikings in commemoration of their Swedish roots.
