Essex is a town in Essex County, New York, United States overlooking Lake Champlain. The population was 671 at the 2010 census. The town is named after locations in England. The Town of Essex is on the eastern edge of the county. It is south-southwest of Burlington, VT which is on the other shore of Lake Champlain, south of Plattsburgh, south of Montreal, Quebec, and north of Albany, NY.〔(Wolfram Alpha, distance from Essex, NY to Plattsburgh NY ), retrieved 11/15/10.〕 Essex is inside the Adirondack Park. == History == Essex was part of a land grant made to Louis Joseph Robart by French King Louis XV. The land grant was lost after the British took over the region after 1763. The region was first settled around 1765 with the intention of forming a baronial estate like those of the lower Hudson River for landowner and investor, William Gilliland. The town was formed from a part of the Town of Willsboro in 1805. It was an important shipbuilding location and port, but that economy collapsed after 1849 with the beginning of railroad lines in the region. The Essex Village Historic District, the Essex County Home and Farm, and the Foothills Baptist Church are listed with the National Register of Historic Places.〔 ''See also:'' 〕〔 ''See also:'' 〕〔 and (''Accompanying three photos, exterior and interior, undated'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Essex, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
