Middlesex Centre
municipality in Ontario, Canada
Middlesex Centre is a township in Middlesex County, in southwestern Ontario, Canada, north and west of London. The Corporation of the Township of Middlesex Centre formed on January 1, 1998, with the amalgamation of the former Townships of Delaware, Lobo, and London (not to be confused with the adjacent city of London). It is part of the London census metropolitan area.
Middlesex Centre is halfway between two of the five Great Lakes. It is north of Lake Erie, and southeast of Lake Huron. Further to the east of Middlesex Centre is Lake Ontario, while to the west is the much smaller Lake St. Clair. That makes Middlesex Centre very desirable for farming for its frequent precipitation, and it also has higher than normal snowfall from lake-effect snow in the winter, causing desirable spring planting conditions (but also less desirable snow removal issues for its residents).
The same benefits received by the precipitation of the surrounding lakes also subjects the area to severe summer weather conditions because of the convection of any of the surrounding bodies of water in the summer heat. Middlesex Centre suffered a hit by an F3 tornado in 1990 at Komoka.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Middlesex Centre” as municipality in Ontario, Canada. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as municipality in Ontario, Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4116626. Authority coordinates are 43.050, -81.450. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998 and 1990.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
