The town was founded by the Romans as Salinae on account of the salt deposits around it, as it was one of their major sites of salt production. It lies on the confluence between the River Dane and River Croco. A Roman Road, King Street (originally Kind Street) runs between Middlewich and nearby Northwich. It is still an important location for salt manufacture, and has also been known for Cheshire cheese. A branch of the Shropshire Union Canal flows to the town, where it meets with the Trent and Mersey canal.
The parish church for Middlewich is St Michael and All Angels Church, which dates back to the 12th century.
