== Fun facts ==
* In 1968, the county lost before the Supreme Court in Avery v. Midland County which required local districts to be nearly equal. The city of Midland had most of the county's population but only elected one of the five county commissioners, which was found to violate the Fourteenth Amendment.
* Midland County was one of the first counties Texas to turn consistently Republican, last voting for a Democrat in a presidential election in 1948, even giving Gerald Ford 70% of the vote in 1976. It now consistently gives 75%+ of its vote to Republican candidates in most elections.
* Greenwood has many traditions such as MOE (Matter Of Effort) and a yearly acronym.
* The Spraberry Trend, the third-largest oil field in the United States by remaining reserves, underlies much of the county.
