About Essex

The Town of Essex brings together Essex Centre, Harrow, Colchester and McGregor, stretching from the middle of the county down to the Lake Erie shore. With about 21,000 residents, it offers small-town living, good value and a relaxed pace.

Living here

Essex Centre has the shops, services and arena of a classic main-street town. Harrow and Colchester sit in the heart of Lake Erie North Shore wine country, with wineries, orchards and lakeside cottages. The Harrow Fair is the oldest community fair in Ontario, and Essex Fun Fest brings the town together every summer.
