Discover Midway: A Hidden Gem in Limestone County

Published: October 5, 2005

Midway is a small rural community located off State Highway 164 about twelve miles west of Groesbeck in western Limestone County. Settlement probably began in the late 1800s. In the 1930s county highway maps showed farms and dwellings in the region. By the latter part of the twentieth century, Midway was a sparsely populated dispersed community. The 2000 census reported nine residents.
