The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Concord first received a post office in 1836. It was incorporated as a village in 1871.

The Michigan Historical Center operates a museum in Concord called the Mann House. The Mann House is an excellent example of typical middle-class domestic architecture of the early 1880s and features the family's sleigh and buggy as well as Jackson's Michigan State Prison made furniture.
