Midlothian's former motto, evidenced by older signs that still stand around the city, was "The Steel and Cement Capital of Texas", as three large cement manufacturers and one large steel manufacturer are located in and around the city. The city's new motto is "DFW's Southern Star".

The City of Midlothian is served by the Midlothian Independent School District and Navarro College.

Three of the top ten largest cement factories in the United States operate in the city: Texas Industries ("TXI"), Holcim and Ash Grove. Chaparral Steel, spun off from TXI, also runs a large steel factory adjacent to TXI's cement plant.

Midlothian has high number of bands that have come from it (a recent study showed that in four years more than 60 bands have formed in Midlothian). Due to a strict school and conservative community, these bands are mostly of the rock genre. Music teachers have encouraged this, and several of the bands have gone on to be signed by major labels such as Victory.
