Midlanders
Central England residents
People from the Midlands—the central region of England, including cities like Birmingham, Nottingham, and Leicester.
The term distinguishes them from Northerners and Southerners in British regional identity: Midlanders often feel caught between North-South cultural divides.
In American usage, Midlanders may refer to residents of Midland, Texas or Michigan.
