Concho is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Apache County, Arizona, United States.

[7] Don Manuel Antonio Candelaria, originally of Cubero, NM, is generally credited with being the first known settler of Concho: he first entered the area in the 1840s, when he was a child and an Apache captive.

He was adopted by the tribe and lived among them as a full Apache tribal member for many years, until deciding to return to Cubero as a young man to reconnect with his birth family.

"[9] Nevertheless, circumstances such as World War II caused residents to leave the area, and in time Concho dwindled down to a small community.

Each year the villagers enjoy coming together for the San Rafael Fiestas, when residents and relatives from afar gather for joyful celebration and reminiscing.

Growth in this development primarily took place as a result of the construction of the Coronado Generating Station located west of St. Johns.

The clubhouse of the country club is now a pizza place, and the old golf course is a parklike residential area with a vineyard, private homes and organic gardens.
