Concord is a suburban industrial district in the City of Vaughan in York Region, located north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
[3] Concord became a postal village in 1854 when John Duncan became postmaster at the northwest corner of what is now Dufferin and Centre Streets.
[5] The Northern Railway of Canada established a stop at Thornhill in 1853, located to the north of present-day Highway 7 along the GO Barrie line.
In the 1970s, the industrialization and commercialization of the northern part of the district began, mostly along Highway 7 and Keele, with development continuing into the 2000s.
Much of Concord is industrial while empty spaces remain in the southern part, in the Black Creek and 407 area, and along the CN railway line.
The draft Concord GO Centre secondary plan was presented in an open house for the public on November 4, 2013.
