A Look at Weston's Past
The Town of Weston has changed its shape over the years! Before 1905, it was much bigger and included an area now called the Town of Rib Mountain. That part became its own town, first named Erickson, and then later Rib Mountain.
Later, in 1996, the southern two-thirds (that's about two-thirds of the land!) of the Town of Weston became a separate place called the village of Weston. So, the Town of Weston today is smaller than it used to be.
