The population was 1,163 at the 2010 census.[2] The county seat of Essex County[3] is the hamlet of Elizabethtown, located in the northern part of the town.

HistoryWilliam Gilliland, an investor, bought up large tracts of land in Essex County. The town was first settled around 1792 near New Russia. The town of Elizabethtown was established in 1798 from the town of Crown Point. The community of Elizabethtown in this town became the county seat, succeeding a location in the town of Essex.
