Abstract:
Concord, the county seat of Cabarrus County, takes its name from the harmonious resolution of a controversy over where to locate the courthouse. It is home to two of the state's top ten attractions: Concord Mills shopping mall and Lowe's Motor Speedway. Originally a farming community, Concord grew into a thriving center for textiles and banking. In the new century it is a town with a plan to bring people back to its downtown and surrounding historic district with an eclectic mix of restaurants, retailers, and entertainment-oriented businesses.
