Advertised in a 1909 sales brochure as The Rising Suburb of the East, Essex, Maryland, has seen its fate and fortune rise and fall and rise again. The town enjoyed its early reputation as a haven for city dwellers with picnic groves, hunting and fishing clubs, dance halls, and waterfront amusement parks.

Several attempts at redevelopment and legislation failed, resulting in the residents distrust of government intervention. Finally a county-backed Renaissance project was established in 2002, bringing Essex a new epithet: The Hidden Gem of Baltimore County.
