We present the first results of a wide area X-ray survey within the SloanDigital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82, a 300 deg$^2$ region of the sky with asubstantial investment in multi-wavelength coverage. We analyzed archival {\itChandra} observations that cover 7.5 deg$^2$ within Stripe 82 ("Stripe 82ACX"), reaching 4.5$\sigma$ flux limits of 7.9$\times10^{-16}$,3.4$\times10^{-15}$ and 1.8$\times10^{-15}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ in the soft(0.5-2 keV), hard (2-7 keV) and full (0.5-7 keV) bands, to find 774, 239 and1118 X-ray sources, respectively. Three hundred twenty-one sources are detectedonly in the full band and 9 sources are detected solely in the soft band.Utilizing data products from the {\it Chandra} Source Catalog, we constructindependent Log$N$-Log$S$ relationships, detailing the number density of X-raysources as a function of flux, which show general agreement with previous {\itChandra} surveys. We compare the luminosity distribution of Stripe 82 ACX withthe smaller, deeper CDF-S + E-CDFS surveys and with {\it Chandra}-COSMOS,illustrating the benefit of wide-area surveys in locating high luminosity AGN.We also investigate the differences and similarities of X-ray and opticalselection to uncover obscured AGN in the local Universe. Finally, we estimatethe population of AGN we expect to find with increased coverage of 100 deg$^2$or 300 deg$^2$, which will provide unprecedented insight into the highredshift, high luminosity regime of black hole growth currentlyunder-represented in X-ray surveys.
