The area that now comprises Weston was first settled by Europeans in 1639 as part of Farmington. The town name was derived from a landowner named John Weston who purchased land from Roger Ludlow. Weston was incorporated on October 12, 1796. It became an important shipping center during the early 19th century due to its location on navigable waterways connecting New York City with Boston and other points along the Atlantic coast. Manufacturing began to decline after World War II but has since grown significantly; today, Weston is home to many high-tech companies and businesses related to health care services.
