The Town of Weston Mass
is an attractive suburban town on the perimeter of metropolitan Boston.
Incorporated in 1713, the town is located on a rugged upland plateau. Early
settlers discovered that the amount of useful agricultural land was limited
as was the water power potential in the town. But colonists moving in from
Watertown in the mid-17th century established scattered farms in Weston
and by 1679 a sawmill, several taverns, some doctors and, according to
the historians, "probably some lawyers", had settled in Weston. By the
18th century residents were profiting by the traffic on the Boston Post
Road.
Taverns of great historic importance were established on the Road. The Golden Ball Tavern, built in 1750, still exists in the town. Unfortunately, commercial stagnation followed the loss of business after the opening of the Worcester Turnpike in 1810 drew commercial traffic from the Boston Post Road. Townspeople turned to boot and shoe making, and the manufacturing of cotton and woolen mill machinery. By 1870, substantial country estates were being built in Weston by Bostonians, establishing a prosperous residential character for the town. Farming continued to be a significant support for the local economy and an organ factory opened in 1888 which employed some residents. The Weston Aqueduct and Reservoir was built in 1903 and the Hultman Aqueduct followed it in 1938 to bring Quabbin Reservoir water into Boston. Weston Mass is located in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Lincoln on the north, Waltham and Newton on the east, Wellesley on the south, Natick on the southwest, and Wayland on the west. Weston is 12 miles west of Boston, 27 miles south of Lowell, 29 miles east of Worcester. |
