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 to 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, was slated to close in 1963,[5] but was still operating in 1967.[6]
