Middletown occupies the west bank of the Connecticut River in central Connecticut. Its broad Main Street follows the old commercial core of a city that developed as an important river port during the 18th and 19th centuries, and downtown still combines brick storefronts, civic buildings and churches. Wesleyan University, founded in 1831, brings a strong academic presence to the city; its campus includes the Center for the Arts and the Davison Art Center. Riverfront parks keep the tidal Connecticut River close to daily life, while the surrounding valley links Middletown with Hartford and the smaller river towns to the south.
