Concord’s history is
mostly unwritten

The public archives hold just one old photo of Concord. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.

The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Concord is a home rule-class city in Lewis County, Kentucky, in the United States. The population was 19 at the 2020 census, making it the least populated city in Kentucky after South Park View dissolved in 2023. It is part of the Maysville Micropolitan Statistical Area.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 35 to 19 (-46%). Half of its homes were built before 1946.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Concord yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Concord is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Concord has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Buckeye Station in Monroe, 3 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
2Try a local or state list firstMany states keep their own register with a shorter form, a common first step for old barns, halls and schoolhouses.
3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Buckeye Station’s page links to a real one.
