| Essex, Killingworth, Chester, Deep River |
|
The town of Essex in southeast Connecticut is situated on the estuary of the Connecticut River. Residents enjoy the environment and scenic wonder of the lower river valley, listed as “one of the last 40 great places left on earth” according to the International Nature Preservancy. Nearby Killingworth stretches 36 square miles in area, although a large portion of the town’s considerable land mass is forested. Three of the town’s rivers flow into Long Island Sound, creating numerous wetlands and ledge outcroppings. Chester achieved fame as a center for inventors and manufacturing innovations. Today, Chester touts itself as “home to a stone mason with the eye of an artist, and artists with the industry of stone masons.” Many multinational businesses complete with New York for clients. The community of Deep River enjoys a central location in the state’s most popular vacation region. Thriving manufacturing operations, small businesses, and entrepreneurs attest to “Yankee ingenuity” in this small town. |
