Concord is a big American city and the capital of New Hampshire. Initially, the area of Concord was inhabited by the Pennacook tribe. Members of this tribe were mainly engaged in fishing and growing edible plants in the backwater of the Merrimack river. The settlement received city rights in 1734, however, the current name of the city has only been in force since 1765. The granite building of the New Hampshire State House, or the headquarters of state authorities, is one of the landmarks of Concord. The edifice was erected in the years 1816-1816 according to the design of architect Stuart Park.
