Description:
County seat. The County consists of 25 unique communities including historic Cranbury Township. Located minutes from Port Elizabeth and half-way between New York and Philadelphia, Middlesex County is home to numerous Fortune 500 companies, three universities and world-class healthcare and research facilities and has long been the place where innovation and productivity have thrived.
Early on, it was the Raritan River, the second longest river in the state, which brought about trade and commerce. Now, nearly every major north/south rail and roadway on the East Coast passes through Middlesex County. The New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, Interstate 287 and U.S. Routes 1 and 9 intersect within its borders, easing commutes and facilitating rapid commerce travel. Middlesex County is serviced by Newark Liberty International Airport, which accommodates travelers from throughout the world.
