Description
Concordia was originally formed as a mission station by Rev Mr Brecher, a Themish missionary in 1852. From 1853 to 1933 the Namaqua Copper company ecploited copper deposits when it was sold and became the Okiep Copper Company. During the Anglo-Boer War (April 1902) the Boer Commandos used Concordia as their headquarters while Okiep was under siege. Old Cornish mine houses still remain as well as the granary which was used as a hospital by Boer Commandos.
