According to an estimate completed by the United States Census Bureau, the city had a population of 129,295 in 2019,[11]making it the eighth most populous city in theSan Francisco Bay Area.[12][13]Founded in 1869 asTodos SantosbyDonSalvio Pacheco II,a notedCalifornioranchero, the name was later changed to Concord. The city is a major regional suburbanEast Baycenter within the San Francisco Bay Area, and is 29 miles (47 kilometers) east ofSan Francisco.

The United States Census Bureau defines anurban areain the East Bay which is separated from the San Francisco–Oakland urban area and with Concord as the principal city: the Concord–Walnut Creek,CA urban area had a population of 538,583 as of the2020 census,making it the80th largest in the United States.[9]

History

[edit]
Concord was founded as "Todos Santos" in 1869 byDonSalvio Pacheco,a notedCalifornioranchero.

The valleys north ofMount Diablowere inhabited by theMiwokpeople, who huntedelkand fished in the numerous streams flowing from the mountain into theSan Francisco Bay.It is important to note Miwok and other indigenous people still live within city limits. In 1772, Spanish explorers began to cross the area but did not settle there. In 1834, the Mexican land grantRancho Monte del Diabloat the base of Mount Diablo was granted to Salvio Pacheco (for whom the nearby town ofPachecois named).

Concord was founded under the name of Todos Santos ( "all saints"; a name still borne by the central city plaza and park between Willow Pass Road and Salvio Street), on the initiative of Pacheco in 1869. It achieved prominence in the 19th century, when most residents of Pacheco relocated to Concord to avoid the devastation of fire and flood which crippled Pacheco's formerly booming economy. Concord wasincorporatedon February 5, 1905.[14]

The area around Concord in the surrounding Ygnacio and Clayton valleys was a large agricultural area. The crops grown included grapes, walnuts, almonds, wheat, hay, and even tomatoes. The area to the east (now the site of the Concord Naval Weapons Station) was the site of a few enormous wheat ranches of over 5,000 acres (20 km2), and was almost a sea of wheat all the way to the marshes borderingSuisun Bay.DuringProhibition,many vineyards were removed and replaced with walnut orchards. The town ofCowell,now incorporated into Concord, produced cement.

The first Concord post office opened in 1872.[15]

Port Chicago disaster

[edit]
Main article:Port Chicago disaster

Themunitionson board aNavycargo ship exploded while being loaded duringWorld War II,resulting in the largest number of casualties amongAfrican Americansin any one incident during that war. On the evening of July 17, 1944, a massive explosion instantly killed 320 sailors, merchant seamen, and civilians working at the pier. The blast was felt 30 miles (48 km) away. A subsequent refusal by 258 black sailors to load any more ammunition was the beginning of the Navy's largest-ever mutiny trial, in which 50 men were found guilty. Future Supreme Court JusticeThurgood Marshallsat in on most of the proceedings and declared that he saw a prejudiced court.[16]

The focal point of downtown Concord is Todos Santos Plaza, which encompasses an entire city block and is known for itsfarmers market,free summer concerts, and large number of surrounding restaurants. Much of the area immediately around downtown has recently been redeveloped, with new high-density apartment and condominium projects to take advantage of the proximity to public transportation and to the area surrounding the park. Despite this, some crime and homelessness remain issues in the downtown area.[18][19]
