About Midland
Midland is the county seat of Midland County,
situated on the Southern Plains. Originally
established in June 1881, but renamed in 1884,
Midland was given it name for its location between
Fort Worth and El Paso. Midland, Texas is proud to
be the childhood home of former President George W.
Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush.
