An Introduction to Midland

Midland is located in the crook of the thumb in Michigan. This Wolverine State city is part of the "Great Lakes Bay Region," which includes the nearby cities of Saginaw and Bay City. Though once inhabited by Chippewa, the area was settled by Americans in the mid-1800s and the Native Americans were, rather impolitely, asked to leave. In 1890, the Dow Chemical Company set up shop in the newly-incorporated city of Midland and remains a big player in the region to this very day. It’s such a powerful company, in fact, that it's extended its reach all the way to Japan, which now has a special relationship with Midland.

Midland is proud of its "quality educational programs". The schools here have featured prominently in Expansion Management magazine's list of top schools in the country. There are more than 85 places to practice your religion of choice in Midland. When it comes to volunteer work, everybody pitches in. United Way figures prominently here, recruiting around 2,000 helping hands annually to volunteer at more than two dozen community groups. Face it, there's a lot to like about Midland and not much to hate.

Winters here can be deadly without a big warm jacket and thick gloves, so make sure you pack them. Once you’re bundled up, feel free to head out to explore your new hometown. You’ll discover that this is a surprisingly brainy place. In fact, it’s sometimes called the City of Science and Culture. Be sure to check out The Midland Center for the Arts.
