Founded in an oil boom in the early 1950s, Midkiff was named for a former community in nearby areas of Midland County. Its original proposed name was "Hadacol Corner", but the U.S. Postal Service objected (presumably because it disapproved of a registered brand name being used as the name of a town).[5][6] Its post office was established in September 1952.[7]
