Middlesex County is located in the south central part of the U.S. state of Connecticut. As of 2000 the population was 155,071.

As is the case with all eight of Connecticut's counties, there is no county government, and no county seat. In Connecticut, towns are responsible for all local government activities, including fire and rescue, snow removal and schools. In a few cases, neighboring towns will share certain resources, i.e. water, gas, etc. However, Middlesex County is merely a group of towns on a map, and has no particular authority.
