Friends in Middletown, Connecticut, began holding meetings under the care of Hartford Monthly Meeting by 1943 and were set off as a monthly meeting of their own in 1956. Drawing heavily from the faculty and staff at Wesleyan College, at least in their early years, the meeting is part of Connecticut Valley Quarter.
The records of Middletown Monthly Meeting document more than sixty years of a Quaker meeting in
the lower Connecticut Valley beginning in the mid-1950s.
