About the Town of Weston

Located just twelve miles from Boston, Weston sits at the intersection of Route 128 and the Mass Pike.   During the 20^th century, Weston evolved from a small farm community to the suburban, residential town it is today, having among the highest per capita income in Massachusetts.  With history dating back to the mid 1600’s, the town has strong roots in New England traditions, and has maintained its semi-rural character with predominately single-family dwellings and extensive conservation land.    Central to the traditions of Weston is active participation in community life and a deep and abiding interest in the care and education of its young people, thus the schools receive broad and strong community support.
