About the Municipality of Middlesex Centre
Municipality of Middlesex Centre, formed on January 1, 1998 with the amalgamation of the former Townships of Delaware, Lobo, and London, is a predominantly rural municipality in Middlesex County, with a population of approximately 16,000 over an area of 587.22 sq. kilometres. The Municipality is situated at the north, northwest and westerly limits of the City of London, and therefore enjoys both urban and rural amenities. The municipal offices are located in the Hamlet of Coldstream, approximately 15 km northwest of the City of London.
Most of the Municipality is prime agricultural land, and agricultural uses represent one of the Municipality's most significant economic and community assets. Agricultural practices interact with natural heritage features and functions in a number of ways, including agricultural drainage, nutrient management, land clearing and tile draining for agricultural production and the pasturing of livestock.
