      When I was in highschool I thought Midwest referred to California and stuff because it’s the middle (North south wise) and in the west.

      You’ve got the East and West regions defined by the coasts. Then you have the South, but it’s really just the southeast. The rest wants to be called the Midwest. There is no North, I guess…

      It called the midwest from a time a ago when the Mississippi river was the western edge. USA grew a bit and then more but the name stayed the same.
