Some key facts about Weston:

History of Weston

Weston was developed beginning in the 1970s by Arvida/JMB Partners, a development consortium headed by Trammell Crow. Arvida acquired a 10,000 acre tract in eastern Broward County in 1970, which became the site of a planned residential community called "Weston." Development began in 1987. In the 1990s, the Jan and Dan Lewis family, working closely with Arvida, directed the development of major parts of Weston.

The city incorporated on September 3, 1996 as the "City of Weston", becoming the 15th municipality in Broward County. The area was previously part of the unincorporated suburbs west of Fort Lauderdale and included separate neighborhoods and golf clubs before incorporation.
