Midway is an unincorporated community in Woodbury County, Iowa, United States. Midway is located on County Highway D38, 7.15 miles (11.51 km) east of Anthon.[2]
History[edit]
Midway was once home to schools, St. Paul's Church, a post office, and a number of businesses. The post office at Midway operated from 1890-1907.[3]
The congregation of St. Paul Lutheran Church of Midway was founded on July 3, 1892, when seven families began having services at the Midway District #2 school. The first church building was constructed in 1898. By 1912, the church had 582 baptized members. After a lightning strike in 1919, the original church building was replaced in 1920. A larger church replaced the 1920 church in 1959. St. Paul's of Midway celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2017.[4]
The Midway Independent School District, which operated as a one-room schoolhouse, closed in 1963.[5]
