| County of Essex |
|
At the same latitude as northern California, Essex is one of the most agriculturally productive counties in the country. Located on a peninsula of land that virtually juts out into the midwest United States, Essex is one of Canada's busiest entry points and tourist areas. So the nicknames for the area, "Sun Parlor of Canada" and "Garden Gateway to Canada" are quite appropriate.
