I was looking for information this morning on the history of Concord University in Athens, West Virginia and found the wonderful athens we knew site created and maintained by Garland Elmore, Jr. While Elmore's website is designed to offer information on the broader Athens community, it includes a number of pages with text and photographs focusing on Concord University.
The institution was founded as Concord State Normal School in 1872. The name changed to Concord State Teachers College in 1931. The name changed again Concord College in 1943 it became Concord University in 2004. The university's web site offers a History & Goals page that includes tables with lists of principals/presidents, institutional names with corresponding seals, and other historical information.
