Revision as of 12:27, 8 January 2023

Concord Park is a residential neighborhood[1] in the Trevose section of Bensalem Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, originally established as an intentional racially integrated community in 1954 by Morris Milgram[2][3], a pioneering social activist and civil rights trailblazer who believed blacks should have the same access to housing as whites.[4][5][6]

Concord Park Homes were "the first planned open occupancy homes for sale by a builder determined to build only integrated housing; 139 three and four-bedroom homes were sold and occupied by 55 percent white families and 45 percent Negro families."[7]

The community's origin and history[8] were featured at Bensalem Township's 325th anniversary[9] in 2017 at Growden Mansion and on the Mayor's Show[10].
