Colchester became a Roman Colonia, with the official name Colonia Claudia Victricensis ('the City of Claudius' Victory'). It was initially the most important city in Roman Britain and in it they established a temple to the God-Emperor Claudius. This was the largest building of its kind in Roman Britain.

The A120 is a major route heading west from the ports of Harwich and Felixstowe (Suffolk) and, like the A12, the route was in use during the Roman period and, in part at least, before then. Industry is largely limited to the south of the county and the majority of the land elsewhere is given over to agriculture. Harlow is a centre for electronics, science and pharmaceutical companies, while Chelmsford is the home of Marconi (now called telent plc), Basildon home to New Holland Agriculture's European headquarters and Loughton is home to a printing facility for British and foreign banknotes. Ford Motor Company has its main plant at Dagenham and its European headquarters in Brentwood. Chelmsford has been an important location for electronics companies since the industry was born, and is also the location for a number of insurance and financial services organisations. Business otherwise in the county is dominated by light engineering and the service sector. Connatty, Mary (1987) [1987]. The National Trust Book of the Armada. London: Kingfisher Books. p.25.

While the truncated remnant of Waltham Abbey was considered as a potential cathedral, elevation of the large parish church at Chelmsford was eventually preferred because of its location at the centre of the new diocese of Essex c.1908. Waltham Abbey remains the County's most impressive piece of mediaeval architecture. The ports have branch lines to connect them to the national rail network. These freight movements conflict with the needs of commuter passenger services, limiting their frequency and reliability. [66]
