I grew up in Kansas City--"heart of American", or its geographical center (even though the heart is not technically in the middle of the thorax). I was taught "mid-west" meant it was midway (also your second airport) on the road to the west from the east coast. Since this country was "east coast centric", it was named from their perspective. I don't know for certain, but i assume that the term then applied to the while center strip of the country, especially since there are such similarities with KC; great steak, stockyards, nice people, etc.
