Excerpt from Concord and Its Points of Interest
And now, having sketched Concord's history from the time when the territory was but a savage Wilderness until. It became Penacook Plantation, Rumford town, Rumford district, Concord parish, Concord town, and finally Concord city, let us proceed without further preface to a consideration of the Concord of to -day, and see how far it has fulfilled the hopes of its founders and what are the opportunities held out to the manufacturer, the merchant, the workingman and all the members of that wonderfully intricate and interdependent body known as society.

Excerpt from Concord and Its Points of Interest
The history of Concord as a city dates from 1853, for it was on the tenth of March in that year that the city charter was adopted, it having been granted July 6, 1849, and rejected three times by popular vote, finally being accepted by a majority of 269 in a total vote of 1387. The history of the parish and town is of deep interest but does not properly come within the scope of the present work, which deals especially with the Concord of today and may be considered as a sort of appendix to the complete, authoritative and admirable history of Concord from 1725 to 1853, written by the Rev. Nathaniel Bouton and published in 1856. This is a standard work whose value steadily increases with the passage of time, and we wish here to express our obligations to it for many of the facts presented in the introductory sketch, which by summarizing Concord's development in the past may lead to a more complete understanding of her probable growth in the future. The "History of Merrimack and Belknap Counties," published by J. W. Lewis & Co., of Philadelphia, in 1885, has also been of great service by reason of its clear presentation of facts concerning Concord's later history, and it is to be regretted that the necessarily high cost of that handsomely and substantially gotten up volume of nearly 1000 pages should prevent a copy of it from being owned by every family in the large and important section of which it treats so interestingly and accurately.
