The confusing thing about the term "Midwest" is that, geographically speaking, it is in the northern part of the United States and is more east than west.

The U.S. Census Bureau divides the Midwest into two distinct regions, the East North Central "Great Lakes States," which include Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin and the West North Central "Great Plains States," which include Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas.
