"where is the middle-of-the-west?"
(American points north-by-north east)
It's because the US started on the east coast and expanded westward, it was named back when it actually was the middle of the west and just never changed it. Same way we still refer to the art movement that began in the late 1800s as "modern art".
I'm just being a smartass. Although, Americans do have trouble renaming things.

Good thing you brought it up, though. I was really confused about where midwest turned out to be.
