Essex (Baltimore, Maryland)

Highlights

Established in the early 1900s, the east Baltimore County neighborhood's first residents were mostly former city folk who wanted a little fresh air and some peace and quiet -- for a reasonable price, of course. Glenn L. Martin shook things up when he came to town in 1928. During the World War II era, his aircraft manufacturing company brought thousands of well-paying jobs to Essex and Middle River. To the west, Bethlehem Steel and its affiliates also provided employment opportunities. More recently, the Essex-Middle River area has been the site for many development projects, designed to revitalize Baltimore County's east side.

Established in the early 1900s, the east Baltimore County neighborhood's first residents were mostly former city folk who wanted a little fresh air and some peace and quiet -- for a reasonable price, of course. Glenn L. Martin shook things up when he came to town in 1928. During the World War II era, his aircraft manufacturing company brought thousands of well-paying jobs to Essex and Middle River. To the west, Bethlehem Steel and its affiliates also provided employment opportunities. More recently, the Essex-Middle River area has been the site for many development projects, designed to revitalize Baltimore County's east side. Run-down, often crime-ridden apartment complexes have been torn down. The former Villages of Tall Trees site is now a park, which includes a baseball diamond and a playground. WaterView, a housing development of about 200 single-family homes along Eastern Boulevard, replaced the Riverdale apartment community. A shopping center by the same name was also built on Eastern Boulevard. WaterView Town Center is home to several local businesses and restaurants. Another big part of eastern Baltimore County's revitalization was the extension of Route 43, which opened to the public in October 2006 and connects White Marsh to Eastern Boulevard. County officials hope the extension will attract local businesses and bring more jobs to the area.  « Show less

  1. White squirrels are turning heads in Maryland, elsewhere

  17. Essex gets emergency shelter for pets

    Roscoe, a tan puggle, yelps plaintively from inside a crate, doing his best impersonation of a dog in need. He yips alongside a blue-eyed husky, a schnauzer named Scoobie and, across the room, a guinea pig and a ferret - all supposedly just rescued from a disaster.
