The most southerly part of Ontario, and of Canada, the county is bordered on the north by Lake St. Clair, on the west by The Detroit River and along the south by Lake Erie. The neighbouring county, Kent, is to the East. Parts of Essex County lie farther south than Northern California. There is a locality near Kingsville which is called New California. This part of Essex County also contains Canada's Lake Erie islands, the largest of which is Pelee. The county's industry is largely agricultural and is known for some of Canada's finest field and greenhouse produce. The major urban centre is Windsor, home to a large segment of Canada's auto industry. Windsor is situated across the river from Detroit, Michigan.
