The Community of Concrete no longer exists. It had originally been called Bethesda, but for some reason, they decided to rename their town after an 1858 Concrete building that served a variety of community functions such as church, Masonic lodge and school. Still, it's a rather unusual naming - even for Texas. Perhaps the word concrete was the final word in permanence in the 1850s.
The Concrete Cemetery was established in 1856 when Joel Newton, the brother of rancher James Henry Newton died and James designated a part of his property as a graveyard.
There had been an earlier burial the previous year, which may have influenced Mr. Newton's decision. The very first interment was a Maria Madden Dial.*
