During the summer of 1987, prior to National Convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the country was divided into numbered districts. The states that are now part of the Midwest District were divided as follows:

      District II- Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington

      District III- Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico

      District IV- North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota

      District V- Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas 

At the 1987 National Convention, a national realignment of districts took place. The change was proposed by the national council and approved by the national convention delegation. The original proposed name was the “Midwestern District,” however “Midwest District” was decided upon prior to the final vote. The Midwest District is comprised of the former districts of II, III, IV and V which are listed above.

The Midwest District was defined as the states of Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana minus the parts of the latter three states west of the continental divide.

The first convention was held March 4th-6th, 1988 at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. The first major program approved by the new councils was the commissioning program, which is still active today.

At the 1991 National Convention, at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland; the Midwest District petitioned the delegation for the parts of Montana, Colorado and Wyoming west of the continental divide to unify the states in one district. The motion passed and the Midwest District became ten full states.
