More on Concord

Until the arrival of the first European in the area, the Concord area was inhabited by the Abenaki people, a Native American group. After the land was granted to the Plantation of Penacook, one was the first settlers, Captain Ebenezer Eastman, moved in to settle there between 1725 and 1727. It was originally named Rumford in 1734, and renamed Concord in 1765.

The opening of a canal and lock system in Concord helped the town take advantage of its central location. This made it the choice for the state capital of New Hampshire in 1808. The New Hampshire State House, built in 1819, is the oldest capitol in which legislative branches meet in their original chambers.

Concord industrialized in the later part of the 19th century. Among the industries located here include furniture making, granite quarrying, railroad, health care and insurance.
