It lies two miles from Tynan and close to the border with County Monaghan. It is situated in the Armagh City and District Council area. It had a population of 237 people (91 households) in the 2011 Census.[3] (2001 Census: 240 people) GeographyMiddletown was built in the townland of Middletown, which was known throughout the 17th century under variants of the name Killecannagan ({{etymology|ga|Coillidh Chanannáin|Canannán's wood}}).[4] It is known for its picturesque countryside and its rolling green hills. The hills are made up of numerous drumlins which make up the countryside. At the bottom of the valleys that many of these drumlins form, glens can be found with many tributaries of the River Blackwater flowing through them. The River Cor flows through Middletown countryside and right by the village. It is the most prominent river in Middletown; once a canal system operated on it, namely the Ulster Canal.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} EducationChildren from Middletown formerly went to three different primary schools: St John's Boys' School, St Louis Convent School for girls, and Glasdrummond Primary School (boys and girls). Due to low numbers in the mid-1990s, a new school was built on the site of St John's Boys' School and was opened in June 1999, whereupon all three primary schools were amalgamated. Notable people
