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."[6] Some of the early homeowners included interracial couples, communists, and other nonconformists.[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]
