It is supposedly set in Athens, the city in Greece. This is presumably because Theseus is a legendary character in the history of that city. However, nobody behaves like ancient Greeks, and Theseus's title ("Duke") is decidedly not Greek at all. Neither are the names of the "rude mechanicals" which are totally English, or the fairies, who come from English and European mythology. We might consider this to be an Athens of the imagination, an Athens imagined by someone who didn't know very much about the place.

The play of A Midnight's Summer Dream takes place in Athens, Greece. Where the two couples Lysander and Hermia, and Demetrius and Helena meet up with each other in a forest. That's when all the drama begins to happen.

What year was a midsummer nights dream set in?

No particular era. Theseus and Hippolyta come from ancient Greek legend, but he is given the modern title of "Duke". The rude mechanicals have jobs appropriate to contemporary England and have English names. The fairies are out of Germanic legend except Puck, who is Celtic. Clearly the setting of the play is irrelevant, both as to place and time. In any case in modern productions, directors do not feel bound to a particular era even when the plays are historical, and certainly not in a play like this.

When was a mid nights summer dream set?

You are talking as if the events in the play really happened. They did not. Nobody would mistake this play for anything but a fantasy. Theseus and Hippolyta are legendary figures from the Greek past. Oberon and Titania are equally mythological figures from Germanic mythology. The rude mechanicals are obviously contemporary English. It does not make sense to try to find a temporal setting for the play.
