Midway is a small community in Delaware, United States. It's not a city or town with its own government. Instead, it's an "unincorporated area." This means it's part of a larger county, Sussex County, and gets its services from the county government. Midway gets its name because it's located right between two popular beach towns: Rehoboth Beach and Lewes.
