Welcome to Concord, Ontario
Concord is known as Vaughan’s suburban industrial area and has a current population of approximately 10,000. It can easily be accessed by highways 7, 400 and 407 and used to be an agricultural community before the 1950s when housing developments were launched.
The Don River, Black Creek, and several forests lie in the area, but Concord is basically known as an important industrial hub with numerous corporations being headquartered here. There are also residential and recreational areas as well as cycling trails. Several types of transportation systems can be accessed in Concord and there are also a number of highly-regarded schools in the local area.
