Essex ~ Kingdom of the East Saxons ~ Eastern part of England settled by (Anglo-)Saxon conquerors

Sussex ~ Kingdom of the South Saxons ~ Southern part of England settled by (Anglo-)Saxon conquerors

What’s amusing is that Sussex County in New Jersey is the northernmost county, even though its namesake is literally ~ “land in the south”.

Hey OP, be sure to check out downtown JC’s vibrant downtown scene if you have a chance. You can either walk from Newport (maybe 10-15 min tops) or take the Path train to Grove. Evenings around the Grove street / Newark Ave area are quite nice when the weather is nice. Plenty of food, drink and all around fun.
