Concord Township History

Concord Township, organized in 1807, is centrally located within the county. It is crossed by the Great Miami River. The Miami-Erie Canal also crossed the township from north to south. Troy, the seat of county government, is located within the township.

Aaron Tullis and family, from Kentucky, were the first recorded settlers in the township in 1805. William Barber arrived in 1804.

Due to its central location, Concord Township is crossed by numerous roads and highways, including the Troy and Covington Pike, the Troy and Stillwater Pike, the Troy and Frederick Pike, and the Miami and Montgomery Pike. The Miami-Erie Canal also ran along the eastern side of the township through Troy, the township's only city. It was first surveyed in 1807 and contained 87 lots. The log tavern, operated by Mr. Overfield, one of the town's first citizens, is currently operated as a museum.

NOTICE

MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE

Residents of the unincorporated sections of Concord Township do not have to pay an additional $10.00 per vehicle registration which the City of Troy residents must pay toward the construction of the new Adams Street Bridge. To avoid this additional fee, make sure the 'Owner's Residence-Taxing District' box on your registration or renewal form is 5567 when you renew your license. DON'T PAY $10.00 MORE THAN YOU OWE.

There is another benefit to making sure your taxing district is correct. Concord Township will be eligible to collect all the motor vehicle license fees that are due. Those taxes pay for the services that the Township provides to our residents.
