About Midway
Midway gets its name honestly: this quiet Washington County borough sits roughly halfway between Pittsburgh and Steubenville, Ohio, about 22 miles from each. Originally founded as a stop along the Pennsylvania Railroad, it developed as a convenient settling point between larger industrial hubs. Today, that central position makes it a practical home base for commuters who want a peaceful, small-town setting near the city.
With a footprint under half a square mile, Midway has a close-knit, quiet atmosphere surrounded by open countryside. Local students attend the Fort Cherry School District, and residents enjoy easy recreation on the Panhandle Trail, which follows the historic rail route right through town. It remains a welcoming, low-key community that combines rural charm with simple connections to the wider Pittsburgh metro area.
