It is {{convert|10|km}} west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Canada Bay. Concord is known as the 'Parklands Suburb' of the Inner West. Concord West is a separate suburb, to the north-west. HistoryConcord takes its name from Concord, Massachusetts, in the USA, which was the site of the Battle of Concord, one of the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War (1775–1778). Some historians believe the Sydney suburb was named Concord to encourage a peaceful attitude between soldiers and settlers. The first land grants in the area were made in 1793.[3] The original Concord Council was established in 1883. Concord Council amalgamated with Drummoyne Council in 2000 after 117 years of self governance to form the City of Canada Bay. It is also the name of the surrounding parish.{{Clear}} Commercial areaConcord features a small shopping strip on Majors Bay Road. Several cafes and restaurants featuring outside dining are located here. There is also a small shopping strip on Cabarita Road. ChurchesSt Luke's Anglican Church is one of the oldest churches in Concord. The church is over 150 years old and is located at Burton Street near Concord Oval.[4] Its current organ was donated by Dame Eadith Walker, of the famous Walker family on her 21st birthday in 1883.[5]St Mary's Catholic Church is a prominent architectural landmark on Parramatta Road.[6] The first church on the site was built in 1845 until a new church was built in 1874. A school operated in the original church building until a separate school building was built and opened by Cardinal Moran in 1894. A convent for the Sisters of Charity was erected next to the church in 1898. The present church building was completed in 1929. ParksConcord has many parks, including:
TransportState Transit and Transit Systems operate 9 routes via Concord:
Concord West railway station & North Strathfield railway station service the Concord area. The stops are on the Northern line approximately 14 km (9 miles) from Central Station. Sydney Ferries service the Concord area stopping at Cabarita Wharf.[7] Concord was once serviced by an independent tram line which ran from Mortlake and Cabarita junction through Majors Bay Road, Concord, though to Burwood Road (formerly Wharf Street on the Concord side of Parramatta Road) south though Burwood CBD and terminating at Enfield, its most southern point. This tram system did not join with the rest of the Sydney wide tram network which ceased operating in the early 1960s. Bus services between Mortlake/Breakfast Point and Cabarita to Burwood (and eventually to Ashfield via Enfield, i.e. routes 464 and 466) follow the old tram lines through the suburb, which were removed in 1948. Few hints of Concord's trams remain today apart from the extra width of Majors Bay Road and Brewer Street in order to accommodate a double track tramway and the existence of Tramway Lane and Cabarita Junction which is where the tram tracks split, with one track providing the Mortlake branch and the other the Cabarita branch.
