Middlesex is a Borough of 4 square miles located in the northwest corner of Middlesex County. State Highway 28 traverses the Borough from west to east.

Middlesex Borough was a portion of Piscataway Township, until 1913 when it was incorporated as a separate entity. In May 1913, Middlesex became a borough through the action of the state legislature and local referendum. George Harris was elected as the first mayor and the first borough council was elected at the same time. Two constables were the law enforcement officers and were soon assisted by five appointed marshals.

In 1905, the Lincoln section of Middlesex Borough organized a volunteer fire company and that set the organization of four other fire companies in the borough.

There were already a few schools set up before Middlesex became a borough in 1913. The Harris Lane School was a one-room schoolhouse and it was the oldest school in Middlesex County at the time. The original Pierce School was known as the East Bound Brook School House and The Parker House was also used for education until it was converted into a two-family house. As the Borough grew new schools were constructed to accommodate ever growing student population. Our Lady of Mt. Virgin School was the first parochial school built in 1954.

The Middlesex Board of Education serves public school students in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Schools in the district include three K-3 elementary schools ( Hazelwood Elementary School, Parker Elementary School and Watchung Elementary School), Von E. Mauger Middle School (grades 4-8) and Middlesex High School for grades 9-12. The district's superintendent is Dr. Jim Baker.
