Essex
The Town of Essex was formed from the Town of Willsboro on April 04, 1805.   William Gilliland was the most
famous of its earliest settlers who established there in 1765.  Many others who settled around that time were
displaced by conflicts in the  American Revolution and returned after the troubles were over.   Essex was
named after an English county as a remembrance of the earliest settlers roots in New England and England.
