Middle Franconia, in German Mittelfranken, is one of the three administrative regions of Franconia in Germany, lying in the west of Bavaria and bordering the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. Its administrative seat is Ansbach, while the most populous and largest city is Nuremberg. The English Wikipedia article says the region is divided into seven districts and five independent cities, Ansbach, Erlangen, Fuerth, Nuremberg and Schwabach, and that the lowest level holds 210 municipalities. It took its present name in 1837, when King Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the former Rezatkreis after historical territorial names and tribes of the area, following the 1808 reorganisation of the kingdom into government regions modelled on French departements. Major tourist attractions include the Romantic Road towns of Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Dinkelsbuehl.
