Essex borders Hertfordshire to the west across the River Lee and the River Stort; to the north-west with Cambridgeshire; and to the north with Suffolk, mostly marked by the River Stour.
Essex is not part of the region known as East Anglia, comprising Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, as those areas were settled by tribes called 'Anglian'.
Further from London, to the north of Essex, is the town of Braintree.
Essex became part of the East of England Government Office Region in 1994 and was statistically counted as part of that region from 1999, having previously been part of the South East England region.
Essex is known for being the origin of the political term Essex man, and of the Essex girl joke.
