Concord is an industrial and residential neighborhood in Vaughan north of Toronto, consisting mainly of factory areas and housing developments. The district spreads along major highways with a flat, practical layout featuring functional buildings and transportation infrastructure.
A railway station of the Northern Railway of Canada was established nearby in 1853, shaping early development in the area. John Duncan later created the postal service, which gave the settlement its name and became the foundation for the district.
