Renowned as
one of the most "livable" counties in the country, Middlesex
County is geographically located midway between the New York and
Philadelphia metropolitan areas. The County is proud of its outstanding
transportation network, 18 parks and playgrounds covering more
than 7,000 acres and a rich mix of urban, suburban and rural living.
The County
is also proud of its outstanding Middlesex County College and
an unusually fine network of vocational and technical high schools
that serve thousands of young people.
Middlesex
County is also the home of Rutgers, the State University. A growing
non-residential ratable base has allowed a stable county tax rate
for over a decade while providing a reservoir of skilled workers
for new and expanding business and industry.
Middlesex County
enters the new millennium as the premier county in New Jersey
with a quality of life second to none.

Q: What is a
Freeholder?
A: The term
Freeholder, based in English common law, originally referred to all
men who owned or held property free of any debts or encumbrances.
This term is now
used by New Jersey’s 21 counties to describe county legislators. The
residents of Middlesex County’s 25 municipalities elect seven (7) persons
to serve as members of the Board of Chosen Freeholders. The Freeholders
are elected at-large to staggered three-year terms in the November general
election.
In January of each
year, the Board reorganizes, selecting one Freeholder to be Freeholder
Director and another to be Freeholder Deputy Director. The Freeholder
Director appoints Freeholders to serve as Chairpersons and members on
the various committees which oversee county departments.
