Concord

Concord is one of Vaughan's most varied communities. It includes major employment and industrial lands, established residential areas such as Glen Shields, newer residential pockets, and the rapidly developing Vaughan Metropolitan Centre around Highway 7 and Jane Street. The City of Vaughan describes Concord as approximately bounded by Steeles Avenue to the south, Rutherford Road to the north, Highway 400 to the west and Dufferin Street to the east. The broader Concord community includes areas such as Glen Shields, Dufferin Hills, Concord West and Carrville. Concord's roots predate modern Vaughan. A post office was established here in 1854, but the area's character changed dramatically after Highway 400 opened in 1951 and industrial development expanded around the railway corridor.

The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is one of Vaughan's major transit hubs, with TTC Line 1, Viva rapid transit and local connections. Transit access elsewhere in Concord varies considerably depending on the specific neighbourhood and address. Highways 400 and 407, along with the Highway 7 corridor, provide major east-west and north-south connections through Concord.
