In 1659, the region's first settlement, Penacook, was founded; it's a variation of the Indian name Pannukog, which means a crooked place or a bend in the driver. In 1725, the first land grant was obtained and in 1733 the community was incorporated as Rumford. Citizens changed the town's name to Concord in 1765 after resolving a fierce boundary dispute between the communities of Rumford and Bow. With its central location, Concord was an obvious choice for the state capital, and it was so named in 1808. |
