There is an obvious divide between the wealthy and poor residents of this area. The Western half of Essex County is home to wealthy and affluent families while the Eastern section of Essex is populated with residents living well below the poverty line.
A nine-member board of Chosen Freeholders and a county executive govern Essex County from the county seat in Newark. Five of the board’s members are selected from the county’s five districts. The other four members can be selected from anywhere within the county. Both the individual Freeholders and the county executive are elected by the people. Each member of the board serves a three-year term. The board chair and vice chair each serves a one-year term as leader of the board.
