The name is historic. It goes back to when the United States was smaller. Another example would be: why is Northwestern University in Chicago, not in the state of Washington? (Because when it was founded, the Great Lakes Area was the northwest of the United States -- what is now he northwest came much later.)

Don't agonize too much about regional names. They are not scientific, but just customary.

This pretty much explains it: http://answers.google.com/answers/thread…
Basically the census bureau has designated the states that are in this region, but as early settlers explored territories west of the Mississippi , the central area became known as the Mid West.
