The area in what is known as Concord today was first settled by Colonel T.L. Mott and his family, who moved to Texas with his family from Alabama in the late 1850s. They established a church with other area families that next decade and named it after the Book of Concord, which is referenced in the second book of Corinthians in the Bible.
