Concordville lies in Concord Township, which first appears in court records on June 27, 1683, when John Mendenhall was named constable of "Concord liberty." The name is believed to have been given by the earliest European settlers, reflecting the friendly spirit among them, and all land titles in the township trace back to grants from William Penn. The first European settlement around the village came about 1700, after Quakers bought land from Penn. Concord was part of Chester County until Delaware County was created in 1789.
More about Concordville
The village grew at the meeting of two early roads, the Baltimore Pike, now U.S. Route 1, and the Concord Pike, which connected Pennsylvania with Delaware. Its original Friends meetinghouse was built in 1728 and rebuilt and enlarged in 1788. After the Quaker split of the 19th century, the Hicksite Friends kept the old meetinghouse while the Orthodox Friends built another; the two groups have since reunited and meet in the original building.
Nearby, the Newlin Grist Mill has ground grain since 1704 and is now the center of the Newlin Mill Historic Park, and St. John's Episcopal Church was founded in 1702 on land given by farmer and tavern keeper John Hannum. Ivy Mills in the township made the paper for the first currency printed by the Continental Congress. Part of the village was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Concordville Historic District on April 3, 1973.
