(Old North Bridge, Concord River - The Shot Heard Round the World)
Concord is located in Middlesex County
Population: 17,076 Concord is unique in three periods of history. Incorporated in 1635, the town was the first Massachusetts settlement away from the tidewater on a non-navigable river. On April 19, 1775, it was the scene of the first battle of the War for Independence -- the American Revolution. During the middle of the nineteenth century, a period aptly called "The Flowering of New England," Concord was home to some of the greatest minds in America. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Bronson Alcott, and his daughter Louisa May Alcott, lived, talked, and wrote in Concord. Because of them, visitors, both literary and transcendental, flocked to this town which became an American Athens.
Through the years, the people of Concord have carefully preserved the historic and literary aspects of the town and, in addition, have maintained a commitment to the conservation of generous amounts of open space and wilderness areas. Private and public endeavors have preserved the homes of the Concord authors while Minute Man National Historical Park manages the North Bridge battleground area. Justly proud of its rich cultural heritage, the Concord of today continues to foster the arts, having a chorus, orchestra, band, a theatre group, two art centers and museums, historic houses and a theatre for the performing arts.
