Concord, AL

Concord is a Jefferson County census-designated place northwest of Hueytown and within the Birmingham area's western suburban fringe. The 2020 census counted 1,690 residents. There is no separate municipal government here, which is part of the local distinction: Concord is a named community with its own census boundary, ZIP Code 35023, and school connection, but its surrounding roads and services connect into the larger Hueytown and Jefferson County network.

The community's older story is tied to the families and industries of lower Jefferson County. Hueytown's historical accounts place Concord among the nearby communities where families farmed, ran mills, built churches, and followed the county's shift toward coal, iron, and steel work. Concord Elementary is part of the Jefferson County School System's Hueytown feeder pattern, and the local map puts the community close to Hueytown's stores, schools, and municipal services. Concord's character is easy to miss because it shares so much of its daily geography with its neighbors. The local scoop is that a small census place can still have a recognizable name and a long family history even without a town hall.
