However, County Boroughs of West Ham (1889–1965), Southend-on-Sea (1914–1974) [44] and East Ham (1915–1965) formed part of the county but were county boroughs (not under county council control, in a similar manner to unitary authorities today).

As it is not far from London, with its economic magnetism, many of Essex's settlements, particularly those near or within short driving distance of railway stations, function as dormitory towns or villages where London workers raise their families. In these areas a high proportion of the population commute to London, and the wages earned in the capital are typically significantly higher than more local jobs. Many parts of Essex therefore, especially those closest to London, have a major economic dependence on London and the transport links that take people to work there. Colchester is a garrison town, and the local economy is helped by the Army's personnel living there. The pattern of settlement in the county is diverse. The areas closest to London are the most densely settled, though the Metropolitan Green Belt has prevented the further sprawl of London into the county. The Green Belt was initially a narrow band of land, but subsequent expansions meant it was able to limit the further expansion of many of the commuter towns close to the capital. The Green Belt zone close to London includes many prosperous commuter towns, as well as the new towns of Basildon and Harlow, originally developed to resettle Londoners after the destruction of London housing in the Second World War; they have since been significantly developed and expanded. Epping Forest also prevents the further spread of the Greater London Urban Area. At the 2019 general election, Castle Point constituency recorded the highest vote share for the Conservatives in the entire United Kingdom, with 76.7%. The most marginal constituency in the county is Colchester; however the Conservative Party still command a majority of over 9,400 votes.Culture and community [ edit ] Symbols [ edit ] The flag of the historic county of Essex Depiction of the first king of the East Saxons, Æscwine, his shield showing the three seaxes emblem attributed to him (from John Speed's 1611 Saxon Heptarchy) Boxted, Boxted Cross, Bures, Great Horkesley, Horkesley Heath, Little Horkesley, Nayland, Wissington, Wormingford, CO4 5, CO8 5, CO6 4, CO6 3 Epping Forest - once a royal forest, now protected in law for "the recreation and enjoyment of the public"

The JPs carried out judicial and administrative duties such as maintenance of roads and bridges, supervision of the poor laws, administration of county prisons and setting the County Rate.

These London-based jobs are often well paid and complement the contribution made by the employers based within Essex. Essex became part of the East of England Government Office Region in 1994 and was statistically counted as part of that region from 1999, having previously been part of the South East England region.

Over 14,000 buildings have listed status in the county, and around 1000 of those are recognised as of Grade I or II* importance. [8] The buildings range from the 7th-century Saxon church of St Peter-on-the-Wall, to the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club which was the United Kingdom's entry in the "International Exhibition of Modern Architecture" held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 1932. A consequence of these features is that the broad estuaries defining them have been a factor in preventing any transport infrastructure linking them to neighbouring areas on the other side of the river estuaries, to the north and south. The Essex County Council also has a Youth Assembly, 75 members aged between 11 and 19 who aim to represent all young people in their districts across Essex. They decide on the priorities for young people and campaign to make a difference. [52] With this, some district and unitary authorities may have their own youth councils, such as Epping Forest, [53] Uttlesford [54] and Harlow. [55]

ELI - The Elizabeth line, which calls at Brentwood and Shenfield in Essex, also calls major London stations such as Tottenham Court Road in the West End, London Paddington and Heathrow Airport. In 1471, during the Wars of the Roses a force of around 2,000 Essex supporters of the Lancastrian cause crossed Bow Bridge to join with 3,000 Kentish Lancastrian supporters under the Bastard of Fauconberg. The county of Essex was formed from the core area, east of the River Lea, [20] of the former Kingdom of the East Saxons in the 9th or 10th centuries and divided into groupings called Hundreds.

Chapel Row, Downham, East Hanningfield, Rettendon, Rettendon Place, South Hanningfield, South Woodham Ferrers, West Hanningfield, Woodham Ferrers, CM3 8, CM11 1, CM3 5, CM2 8 The emblem was attributed to Anglo-Saxon Essex in Early Modern historiography. The earliest reference to the arms of the East Saxon kings was by Richard Verstegan, the author of A Restitution of Decayed Intelligence (Antwerp, 1605), claiming that " Erkenwyne king of the East-Saxons did beare for his armes, three [seaxes] argent, in a field gules". There is no earlier evidence substantiating Verstegan's claim, which is an anachronism for the Anglo-Saxon period seeing that heraldry only evolved in the 12th century, well after the Norman Conquest.
