A Brief History
The City of Weston, what was originally named
Preston in April 1817 came into existence on
September 25th, 1787. Through the General
Assembly a bill was introduced on February 20, 1820
and Preston became known as Weston.
Weston's earliest prosperity came chiefly from its
position as the County Seat. Making it the logical
place for lawyers, bankers, doctors, and vendors to
establish their business.
In its early beginning the City of Weston flourished in
the State of West Virginia. With the discovery of
natural gas and the influx of European immigrants a
new industry emerged. The Glass industry in the early
1930's through the 1970's made the City of Weston
known throughout the United States. With its decline
in the late 1980's to present, the City of Weston has
had to face many challenges. However, its citizens and
City Leaders are striving to work towards a brighter
community for all.
