CONCORDIA...
Whether you're here for a short visit, or considering relocating here, we welcome you to look
us over - we have a lot to offer!
    Established in 1872, Concordia is located in the Republican River Valley.
    Change is evident here in Concordia! In 2006 the City offered an incentive
    program in the Downtown Improvement Project. Several downtown
    businesses underwent a facelift that year and the next. More are expected
    this year. An active Retail community with many businesses which are open
    late on Thursday evenings. Community pride has spurred the Christmas
    Lighting program, which has over 150 6’ snowflakes scattered across town
    each holiday season!

During World War II, Camp Concordia housed German prisoners of War.
The P.O.W. Camp was located north of Concordia. Concordia is the site of
the National Orphan Train Complex Inc.  which recently merged with the
Orphan Train Heritage Society of America, Inc. and houses their archives.
The former Union Pacific Depot, placed on the national historic registry,
has undergone a complete restoration in preparation to become the Orphan Train Rider Museum.
Alongside the depot work continues on the Morgan-Dowell Research Center. Concordia takes pride in
the historic Brown Grand Theatre, a restored opera house, also on the national historic registry.

The Concordia Chamber of Commerce, a non-profit volunteer organization, has been a part of the
Concordia community since 1923. Over the years, the Concordia Chamber and its members have been
leaders in building the economy of Concordia and improving the quality of life. Concordia sits on US
Hwy. 81, halfway between 1-70 and I-80. The result is a population of around 5700 that enjoy the rural
life, with large cities in easy reach.
