Midway is a small place in Giles County, Virginia. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes or buildings that doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's governed by the larger county it's part of.
Midway is located at an elevation of about 1,719 feet (524 meters) above sea level. This means it's quite high up, which can sometimes affect the weather or the types of plants that grow there.
An unincorporated community is a place where people live that isn't officially a city or a town. It doesn't have its own mayor or city council. Instead, the county government takes care of things like roads, schools, and police services for everyone living there. Many small communities in the United States are unincorporated.
