'''Middlesex County''' is a [[county (United States)|county]] in the south central part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Connecticut]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 164,245.<ref>{{cite web|title=Census - Geography Profile: Middlesex County, Connecticut |url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=0500000US09007|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=November 20, 2021}}</ref> The county was created in May 1785 from portions of [[Hartford County, Connecticut|Hartford County]] and [[New London County, Connecticut|New London County]].

Middlesex County is included in the [[Hartford, Connecticut|Hartford]]-[[East Hartford, Connecticut|East Hartford]]-[[Middletown, Connecticut|Middletown]] [[metropolitan statistical area]] known as [[Greater Hartford]].

As with all eight of Connecticut's counties, there is now no county government and no county seat. In Connecticut, towns are responsible for all local government activities, including local police, fire and rescue, [[snow removal]], and schools. In a few cases, neighboring towns will share certain resources, e.g. water, gas, etc. On June 6, 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau formally recognized [[Councils of governments in Connecticut|Connecticut's nine councils of governments]] as county equivalents instead of the state's eight counties. Connecticut's county governments were disbanded in 1960, and the councils of governments took over some of the local governmental functions. [[List of counties in Connecticut|Connecticut's eight historical counties]] continue to exist in name only, and are no longer considered for statistical purposes.<ref>https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/06/06/2022-12063/change-to-county-equivalents-in-the-state-of-connecticut Federal Register: Change to County-Equivalents in the State of Connecticut</ref>

==Government==
[[Middletown, Connecticut|Middletown]] was the county seat of Middlesex County from its creation in 1785 until the elimination of county government in 1960. There is no government in Middlesex County other than the Middlesex County Judicial District. All county functions other than courts and county sheriff's departments were discontinued in 1960, and again in 2000 when the county sheriff's departments were reorganized as the [[Connecticut Judicial Marshal]], due to political corruption in the county sheriff's departments. Joseph E. Bibisi was the last person to serve as high sheriff of Middlesex County.

==Geography==
The county has a total area of {{convert|439|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|369|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|70|sqmi}} (15.9%) is water.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> It is the smallest county in Connecticut by land area and second-smallest by total area.

The terrain trends from mostly level along the [[Connecticut River]] and Atlantic coast to gently rolling uplands away from them. The highest elevation is close to a [[Benchmark (surveying)|triangulation station]] in '''Meshomasic State Forest''', at {{convert|916|ft}} above sea level; the lowest point is sea level.

Middlesex County is also the home of [[Wadsworth Falls]].
