History

Pilot Town is the section of the Hamlet of Concord where many free black families have lived in harmony with white families since around 1765. It was named for the many Negro pilots who lived in the area and piloted vessels down the Nanticoke River to Chesapeake Bay. Two of the best known were Cann Laws and George Laws.
