Editing Concord, Georgia (section)

==History==
In 1827, Concord was established as a trading post on Whiteoak Creek, serving as a major stop on the stagecoach line between Atlanta and Columbus, and also an important hub for cotton farmers in the region. It was originally incorporated in 1832, but because of the civil war, many of its citizens left the town.<ref>{{Cite web |last=topschoolsintheusa |title=Concord, Georgia History, Economy and Politics – Top Schools in the USA |url=https://www.topschoolsintheusa.com/concord-georgia-history-economy-and-politics/ |access-date=November 9, 2023 |language=en-US}}</ref>
