Middlesex is one of the 39 historic counties of England. Located in the south east of England, it lost the south-eastern part of territory when the County of London was erected in 1889, and was abolished entirely in 1965. The area covered by Middlesex now lies almost entirely in the ceremonial county of Greater London, with smaller parts in the counties of Hertfordshire and Surrey. Middlesex's boundaries largely followed three rivers: the Thames in the south, the Lea to the east and the Colne to the west. A line of hills formed its northern boundary with Hertfordshire. The county was the second smallest of the historic counties of England, after Rutland. Read more on Wikipedia
