Weston is a residential community in Southwestern Connecticut (about 45 miles from New York City).

Most shopping opportunities are outside of town with one small shopping center for conveniences. There are no condominiums, apartment houses or corporate offices. There is no public transportation. The New Haven Line of Metro North provides commuter trains from Westport into New York City. JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Airports are used by most residents for airline service. Major cultural activities are available in adjacent Westport, and in New Have; Stamford and New York City, to name a few. The Weston Commission for the Arts plans exciting cultural events in Weston each month. Our Recreation Department provides for a wide range of activities for residents of various ages. The 53 acre Bisceglie-Scribner Park provides active recreation and contains picnic facilities, a swimming pond and the Kiwanis Fitness Trail.

Weston is the way it is because of its history. An appealing place to live, Weston have conscientiously striven to maintain its charming rural character. Even today, vast stretches of woodland and fields speak of the farming heritage begun well before 1787, the date of incorporation. Fertile hunting grounds for the Pequots, the settlers soon discovered that there was room for them, too, and as the population increased in the Fairfield area, families moved north and west to "West Town." By mid-1800, Weston bustled; water power fueled many a thriving mill, and schools, churches and the Country Doctor were active.
