History

Concordia was platted in 1868. The city was named after a place mentioned in the poem “Das Lied von der Glocke” by Friedrich Schiller. A post office called Concordia has been in operation since 1865.

A large share of the early settlers were Germans. Among these immigrants were ancestors of scientist Linus Pauling. In 1842, Christoph Friedrich Pauling, his wife Catharine and their daughters Rebecca and Charlotte immigrated to the United States from Hanover, with a son being born while they were crossing the Atlantic; they travelled to “a German settlement in Concordia, Missouri”, near where they farmed; a second son was born in 1844 and their third and final son, Charles Henry (grandfather of Linus Pauling) was born in 1847.
