Concord, Massachusetts, in 1775 was a farming and milling town on the Concord River, about 20 miles northwest of Boston, and it was one of Middlesex County's shire towns. That winter the Provincial Congress met there, and colonial leaders stored powder, cannon, and food in the town, beyond the reach of the British garrison in Boston. On April 19, 1775, British regulars marched out to seize those stores. Militia from Concord and neighboring towns confronted them at the North Bridge, and the troops began their retreat toward Boston under fire from farmers and minutemen along the road. Residents who lived through that day knew Concord as the place where organized armed resistance to Britain had taken shape.
