History edit
The area in what is known as Concord today was first settled by Colonel T.L. Mott and his family, who moved to Texas with his family from Alabama in the late 1850s. They established a church with other area families that next decade and named it after the Book of Concord, which is referenced in the second book of Corinthians in the Bible. It continued to operate until the Sam Rayburn Reservoir was built in the 1960s. The church and cemetery then moved to Zavalla. A log cabin and corn crib were purchased by Bennie Polk Morgan who moved them to Jasper County.[2]
Geography edit
Concord was located 7 mi (11 km) east of Zavalla in eastern Angelina County.[2]
