Middleway, West Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Middleway is an unincorporated town in Jefferson County, West Virginia, USA. On January 15, 1786, the Virginia General Assembly passed an act establishing the town of Smithfield on land owned by John Smith II and William Smith. A post office was established in 1806; and since there was another town called Smithfield in the state, a different name was needed to avoid confusion. Because Smithfield had become a center of commerce between several other towns, the post office became known as "Middleway." Middleway remains a small village and retains many of its historic buildings. It was nominated as a historic district to the National Historic District in 1980.
