History
Middleton is a former town in Montgomery County, Mississippi, United States. Once a thriving commercial and educational center, Middleton was bypassed in 1859 when the Mississippi Central Railway 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.
