Weston is located in
Broward County, west of
Fort Lauderdale on Hwy 84, between
Tamarac and
Davie (part of the
Fort Lauderdale, Florida metropolitan area).
The 15,000 acres of land now covering the City of Weston was first amassed in the 1950s by a gentleman named Arthur Vining Davis, the original owner of Westons primary developer, Arvida. The name of the Arvida development was changed from Indian Trace to Weston, and in 1984 the first homes were completed in Windmill Ranch and Country Isles, and Weston had its first residents.
