A 61m aerial view overlooking Midway, British Columbia. Situated close to the border with the United States, it was founded in 1893 & incorporated in 1967. The total population was recorded at 651 as of 2021. It was originally called Eholt's after Louis Eholt in 1884 as it was a popular stopping place for travellers. In 1893, Captain Robert C. Adams called it Boundary Creek or Boundary City but then changed it to Midway by 1895. While the naming isn't fully certain, it is either due to its location roughly halfway b/w the Pacific Ocean & Rocky Mountains or after Midway Plaisance at the Chicago World Fair of 1893.

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III. From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities.
