The History of the County;
Captain John Smith, one of the original tourists to the area, visited Essex during the winter of 1607-08, when he wrote of the “excellent, pleasant, fertile, and goodly navigable” Rappahannock Valley. In 1692, the now extinct Rappahannock County split into Essex and Richmond Counties. Still heavily influenced by British domain, the county name of Essex may have come either from the shire or county in England, or as a nod to the Duke of Essex himself (patrons are often generous!). Essex County Virginia today still maintains links with Essex County Council and the people of Chelmsford, Essex, England.
