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 Black people 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] Some of the early homeowners included interracial couples, communists, and other nonconformists.[8]

The community's origin and history[9] were featured at Bensalem Township's 325th anniversary[10] in 2017 at Growden Mansion and on the Mayor's Show.[11]
