Essex County’s namesake, the city of Essex, famously gained its independence as a town with classic New England-style rebellion. A law in the early 1700’s mandated that no meeting house shall be raised by men, a rule specifically aimed at preventing Essex from becoming its own independent town, since meeting houses generally conferred this honor. Essex County’s women then began the task of erecting the meeting house while the men looked on.
