Because the US expanded from the east coast towards the west. The midwest is west of the OG colonies, but not as far west as, well, the west.

    Yeah, living in Colorado has always been weird hearing that we're "the west". We're about as middle of the country as you can get. 3 states to our west to get to the Pacific, 4 states to the east to get to the Atlantic.

    Edit: lol at people downvoting geography
