Middleton is a former town in Montgomery County, Mississippi, United States.[1] Once a thriving commercial and educational center, Middleton was bypassed in 1859 when the Mississippi Central Railway (later Illinois Central) built its line through nearby Winona. Businesses and residents followed the railroad, and Middleton was abandoned. Little remains of the town today but its cemetery, which was restored in 1992 by the Lions Club of Winona.
Originally located in Carroll County, Middleton was one of the earliest settlements in the area.[2] Montgomery County was organized in 1871, and old Middleton was included in its boundaries.
