Aight I did this when the board first open and people were halvin arguments bout what is Mid West and what aint. So here's a geography lesson fa ya T-Dubb. The Midwest isn't exactly bout being in the most middle part of the United States, it's about geography. The states that make up the Midwest have plains a.k.a flat land. The reason it's named the Midwest is cuz when this country first started all there was was 13 colonies on the eastern coastline. When the pioneers went west they settled in states like Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma etc. And those states became the west (California, Nevada, Washington etc hasn't been discovered then) . After the West expanded more to include Cali and Washington and so forth they called the Great Plains area the Middle West because it was it's West of the Appalation (sp?) Mountains which was the border of the East Coast, but East of the Rocky Mountains which was the border of the Far West as they used to called it. That would put the plains states kinda in the MIDDLE of the country and WEST of the East (remember even tho Cali and all em was discovered they still considered anything outside of the Applation Mountains the west). =Middle/West or Mid West.
