Middletown is a town in southern New Castle County, below the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. Middletown was named because it was the halfway point of a trail between Appoquinimink Creek in Odessa, Delaware, and Bohemia Landing on the Bohemia River in Maryland. This trail was the quickest way to get goods from Delaware Bay to Chesapeake Bay before the C & D Canal was built.
Middletown is Delaware's fastest growing town. The current population of the town is around 10,000; Middletown's population in 2000 was just over 6,000, and the population in 1990 was around 2,800. The growth in Middletown in the last 15 years has made it the 4th biggest city in Delaware, bypassing Milford and Seaford, which were ahead of Middletown in 2000.

On land newly annexed by Middletown, townhouses like these in a neighborhood on the northwest side of town are being built, and are the main factors in Middletown's huge population growth.
