Orsett Heath is a location and recently built hamlet in the unitary authority area of Thurrock, in the ceremonial county of Essex, England. It is located about twenty miles away from London. Nearby settlements include the towns of Tilbury and Grays and the villages of Orsett and Chadwell St Mary. For transport there is the A13 road, the A1089 road and the A1013 road nearby. The nearest railway station is Tilbury Town. At one time, Orsett Heath was probably part of a large swathe of heathland interspaced with woodland. This included Biggin Heath (heathland belonging to the manor of Biggin), Chadwell Heath (heathland belonging to the manor of Chadwell St Mary, not the place near Romford), Mucking Heath, Socketts Heath and Terrel's Heath all of which were on high ground compared to the nearby marsh and had poor sandy soil with underlying gravel and chalk.

Terrel's Heath is, in spite of its name, an area of woodland in Chadwell St Mary named on the 1938 six-inch Ordnance Survey map.

Orsett Rural District was the local government district centred on Orsett in south Essex, England from 1894 to 1936; a little of its far west is in modern Greater London. Likewise in modern terms the area is mostly east of the M25 motorway and north of the Thames Estuary. It was formed in 1894. Housing quite a few residents, it gradually fell from 62.4 to 49.6 square miles. Its notable omission was Grays or Great Thurrock; Thurrock was the main successor district. From 1835 until 1894, its parishes fell in the Orsett Poor Law Union (see the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834). For sewerage purposes from 1875 (with Grays Thurrock until 1886) they formed the Orsett Rural Sanitary District, and during the latter's currency the divorce of Civil parishes in England from ecclesiastical parishes finalised nationally.

Thurrock was a local government district and civil parish in south Essex, England from 1936 to 1974. The parish and urban district was formed from the former area of the following civil parishes which had been abolished in 1936: From Grays Thurrock Urban District: Grays Thurrock From Orsett Rural District: Bulphan Corringham East Tilbury Fobbing Horndon-on-the-Hill Langdon Hills Little Thurrock Mucking North Ockendon (part) Orsett Stanford-le-Hope Stifford West Tilbury From Purfleet Urban District: Aveley South Ockendon West Thurrock From Tilbury Urban District: Chadwell St MaryThe district was enlarged in 1938 by gaining part of the former Little Burstead parish from Billericay Urban District. The district was abolished in 1974. The part within Basildon New Town became part of Basildon District, while the remainder became the present-day Borough of Thurrock. It has since become a unitary authority with largely the same boundaries.
