THE MUSKETAQUID, or Grass-ground River, through probably as old as Nile or Euphrates, did not begin to have a place in civilized history, until the fame of its grassy meadows and its fish attracted settlers out of England in 1635, when it received the other but kindred name of CONCORD from the first plantation on its banks, which appears to have been commenced in a spirit of peace and harmony.
Henry David THOREAU, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849).
