By Schmick's purely geographical "definition", Arizona, New Mexico and half of California would have to be considered part of the South.
Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio would be in the Middle East.

Ohio is in the Midwest the same way I still tell my kids to roll up the window or I ask them if they want me to tape their favorite show. It makes no sense now but it's a term that stuck from a time when it did make sense.

Seeing as how the country was settled on the eastern seaboard for the better part of 100 years "prior" to the near extermination of a race of people...anything west of the Mississippi was the western part of the country. Ya know east-west..

The most immediate areas..were considered "midwest" sometime later.. I live in a mid-western state..it's called Nebraska. Utah is in the west.

It's American History..

The term West was applied to the region in the early years of the country. In 1789, the Northwest Ordinance was enacted, creating the Northwest Territory, which was bounded by the Great Lakes and the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Because the Northwest Territory lay between the East Coast and the then-far-West, the states carved out of it were called the "Northwest". In the early 19th century, anything west of the Mississippi River was considered the West, and the Midwest was the region east of the Mississippi and west of the Appalachians. In time, some users began to include Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri in the Midwest. With the settlement of the western prairie, the new term Great Plains States was used for the row of states from North Dakota to Kansas. Later, these states also came to be considered Midwest by some.



The Midwest as defined by U.S. Census Bureau.

After you guys solve this huge issue, why not move on to other things that are incorrect in today's commonly accepted terms.

Start with driveway and parkway. I park daily on my driveway, and drive to the airport on a parkway.

OK, I'll settle this -- if it's west of the Rockies it's "The West." The Dead Babies are in the "Mountain West."

If west of the rockies is the west, how is ohio in the middle of the west?

It isn''t. Ohio is officially listed as being an East North Central state, though it is informally listed as being in the Mid-West, which of course is a misnomer.
