We named most of the regions in America after the cardinal directions. There’s the West, The South, and the East. Yet there’s no North, is there? You never hear somebody from Indiana or Wisconsin saying, “I’m from the North.” Only characters from Game of Thrones say that.
We call the North Central states the Midwest. And the Midwest is a special place: with its Great Lakes, gently rolling hills and plains, and its famous sayings and phrases. It’s so special, in fact, that there’s a meme page dedicated to it, titled “Midwest Vs. Everybody.” So, here’s a selection of a few we think you might like, even if you’re not a Midwesterner yourself.

You might think you know where the Midwest is, but, turns out, it’s a pretty subjective question. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 12 states in the American Midwest. They include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
However, in a 2023 poll by the University of Nebraska and Emerson College, the people living in Oklahoma and Wyoming also said they think of themselves as Midwesterners. The most Midwestern state, according to the poll, turned out to be Iowa. 96.7% of the people there think of themselves as Midwesterners.
And in Ohio, which the U.S. Census Bureau officially counts as part of the Midwest, only 73.8% of the respondents said they “live in the Midwest.”
