 Weston, Toronto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weston is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the north-west end of the city.
Weston was incorporated as a village in 1881, and then as a town in 1914; but in 1967 it became part of the Borough (later City) of York.
So in a sense, the Town of Weston has not existed as a legal reality for almost forty years, but the strength of identity of the area is such that it continues to be informally known as "The Town of Weston" to this day.
