History
The area developed primarily in the mid-20th century as a residential community connected to employment centers in nearby Pensacola and surrounding military installations.
Historically rural, the Midway area consisted of woods and scattered development prior to post–World War II growth. Population increased as transportation access improved and residential development expanded eastward from Gulf Breeze. In the late 20th century, Midway continued to grow as part of the Pensacola metropolitan area, remaining unincorporated while functioning largely as a bedroom community with commercial activity concentrated along U.S. 98.
Since 2000, Midway has experienced continued residential growth and expanded commercial development as part of broader growth in southern Santa Rosa County. This period has included the construction of new housing subdivisions and supporting retail and county services.
