Welcome to
The Society of
New Concord

SNC

The Society of New Concord was founded by local families in the Winter of 1982-83 as a way to recognize, continue and promote the community of the Hamlet of New Concord.

New Concord was organized as a large geographical entity about 1764, but has been progressively reduced to a smaller area as adjacent towns (e.g. Chatham and Canaan) have grown. In the present era, we don't have our own Post Office, our own zipcode or any official political entities [more historical detail here]. Nonetheless, the diminished New Concord of today remains a particularly scenic, cordial piece of the rural New York State countryside—with its own societal fabric.
