Named in 1635, Concord (pronounced Con-cud) is an old historic town on the western axis of suburban Boston.
Located at the junction of the
Concord,
Sudbury and
AssabetRivers,
Concord 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.
Concord still retains many well-preserved colonial houses, nine of them on or near
Concord green and witnesses of the famous Battle of Concord. In this historic battle, which ushered in the Revolutionary War, a column of British infantry was badly mauled by colonists during a 16-mile long running battle that saw 273 British and 95 American dead.
Concord also has a significant literary history, having been the home of the leaders of the intellectual movements of 19th century
America. Louisa May Alcott, Bronson Alcott, Emerson and Hawthorne lived in
Concord at one time or another and Thoreau wrote his internationally known philosophical treatise at Walden Pond in
Concord.
