About Essex County
The area
Essex County is the southwestern tip of Ontario, a low peninsula between Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River and Lake Erie. Its seven municipalities (Amherstburg, Essex, Kingsville, Lakeshore, LaSalle, Leamington and Tecumseh) had about 192,700 people in 2021; Lakeshore, at about 40,100, was the largest. The City of Windsor (about 229,700) and the island Township of Pelee sit outside the county government. Most rural land is farmland, and Kingsville and Leamington share the largest cluster of vegetable greenhouses in North America. Point Pelee National Park, in Leamington, is the southernmost point of mainland Canada.
History
The county recognizes the land as the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy (Ojibway, Odawa and Potawatomi), naming Caldwell First Nation in particular; its ancestral territory centres on Point Pelee and Pelee Island, and its reserve is in Leamington. In 2011 Canada settled Caldwell's claim to land promised in a 1790 treaty and for War of 1812 service for $105 million. French soldiers from Fort Detroit began farming the Canadian shore around 1747, Brock and Tecumseh planned the 1812 siege of Detroit at Fort Malden in Amherstburg, and thousands escaping slavery crossed here on the Underground Railroad. Windsor grew around car making after the Ford plant created Ford City, a town by 1915.
Services and access
Windsor Regional Hospital runs cancer, cardiac and stroke programs from two Windsor campuses; its Ouellette campus is the lead trauma hospital. Erie Shores HealthCare in Leamington has a 24-hour emergency department. The province maintains Highways 401, 3 and 77, and the county about 1,500 lane kilometres of arterial roads. Windsor International Airport has scheduled flights. Manufacturing (automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical) is the largest sector, and agribusiness employs over 8,000 people.
Land and climate
The growing season, about 212 days, is one of the longest in Canada. LaSalle keeps Carolinian forest, wetland and tall grass prairie. Much of the region is low-lying: the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA) counts 232 km of shoreline and nearly 5,000 homes in low areas, and strong winds can push lake water ashore so rivers and drains cannot empty.
Before you buy
Each municipality has its own building department and zoning bylaw; in Lakeshore, for example, septic systems need a building permit, and land in a conservation authority's regulated area needs its approval first. The county official plan discourages new lots on Agricultural land: a farmhouse left surplus by farm consolidation can be severed only if the remaining farmland is rezoned to bar a new house. Near shorelines, floodplains, wetlands, watercourses and drains, ERCA regulates development under Ontario Regulation 41/24, so a house, shed, deck or dock there needs an ERCA permit; its online map shows the regulated limit.
