Essex is a historic town located in Middlesex County, Connecticut, situated along the Connecticut River. Originally established in 1648 and incorporated in 1852, Essex has maintained much of its maritime heritage and New England charm.
The town was once a significant shipbuilding center during the 18th and 19th centuries, contributing to America's maritime industry. Today, Essex is known for its well-preserved historic architecture, scenic waterfront, and cultural attractions. The town consists of three villages: Essex Village, Centerbrook, and Ivoryton, each contributing to the area's rich cultural landscape.
The community's nautical history is particularly evident in its historic district, where many Federal and Colonial-style buildings still stand. The town's cultural heritage is reflected in its various historical sites, maritime museums, and preserved architectural elements that tell the story of its development from a shipbuilding hub to a cherished historical community.
