Located just west of [[Fort Lauderdale]] and {{convert|31|mi|km}} to the northwest of [[Miami]],<ref name=":1" /> the '''City of Weston''' is within the [[Miami metropolitan area]].

== History ==
In the 1950s, industrialist and philanthropist [[Arthur Vining Davis]] took control of the approximately {{convert|15,000|acre|ha}} which Weston is now located on; Davis was Arvida's first owner.<ref name=":8"/> In the following years, plans were made to develop the land, and the area which is known as Bonaventure was sold and subsequently developed independently from the Arvida development; this area forms Weston's Bonaventure Development District.<ref name=":12">{{Cite web|title=Bonaventure Development District {{!}} City of Weston, FL|url=https://www.westonfl.org/government/bonaventure-development-district|access-date=2022-01-24|website=www.westonfl.org}}</ref> The large, remaining portion of the [[master-planned]] community was developed by Arvida/[[JMB Realty]] (known for developing [[Walt Disney World]]), and the community was originally named Indian Trace; the area developed by Arvida forms Weston's Indian Trace Development District.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|date=1984-05-28|title=ARVIDA'S ROLE IN DISNEY PLANS|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/05/28/business/arvida-s-role-in-disney-plans.html|access-date=2021-12-30|issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Depalma|first=Anthony|date=1988-10-02|title=FOCUS: Broward County, Fla.; A 10,000-Acre City Is Growing in the Everglades|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/10/02/realestate/focus-broward-county-fla-a-10000-acre-city-is-growing-in-the-everglades.html|access-date=2021-12-30|issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref name=":8"/><ref name=":13">{{Cite web|title=Indian Trace Development District {{!}} City of Weston, FL|url=https://www.westonfl.org/government/indian-trace-development-district|access-date=2022-01-24|website=www.westonfl.org}}</ref>

The community's name of Indian Trace was changed to Weston in the early 1980s, and in 1984, the first homes in the Arvida-developed section of Weston were completed in the Country Isles and Windmill Ranch sections of the community.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|title=The History of the City of Weston {{!}} City of Weston, FL|url=https://www.westonfl.org/about/city-history|access-date=2022-01-24|website=www.westonfl.org}}</ref>

In 1994, the Board of Supervisors of Weston began discussing the possibility of either incorporating as a municipality, being annexed into a neighboring municipality, or remaining an unincorporated area of Broward County. In April 1994, the Board of Supervisors initiated an Incorporation Feasibility Study, and a nine-member Steering committee consisting of residents and consultants was established by the Board.

By November 1995, after ruling out remaining an unincorporated area or being annexed to the neighboring municipalities of [[Davie, Florida|Davie]], [[Fort Lauderdale, Florida|Fort Lauderdale]], [[Pembroke Pines, Florida|Pembroke Pines]], or [[Sunrise, Florida|Sunrise]] (all four of which received [[Request for proposal|Requests for Proposals]] on the matter from the Board of Supervisors), it was concluded by both the Board of Supervisors and the Steering Committee that the best option was for Weston to incorporate itself as a city.<ref name=":8"/><ref name=":14"/><ref name="Census 2010">{{cite web|title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Weston city, Florida|url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US1276582|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212182611/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US1276582|archive-date=February 12, 2020|access-date=October 23, 2013|publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder}}</ref> This was determined to be the best option because the community would be able to govern itself on a local level through [[Home rule in the United States|home rule]], and because the local tax revenues generated by the residents would stay in Weston, remain in Weston's control, and be used by and for Weston.<ref name=":8"/><ref name=":14"/><ref name="Census 2010" /> Shortly thereafter, the Board of Supervisors formally requested to the State of Florida to let the Indian Trace Development District's residents vote on whether or not their district should incorporate as a city.<ref name=":8"/><ref name=":14">{{Cite web|title=Weston's Incorporation {{!}} City of Weston, FL|url=https://www.westonfl.org/about/city-history/incorporation|access-date=2022-01-25|website=www.westonfl.org}}</ref><ref name="Census 2010" />

On May 6, 1996, the State Legislature approved the Local Bill, and a vote on the matter was subsequently scheduled for that summer.<ref name=":8"/><ref name=":14"/><ref name="Census 2010" /> Weston ultimately incorporated itself as a city on September 3, 1996. Roughly 90% of the voters in voted in favor of incorporation.<ref name=":14"/>

The Bonaventure section was given the choice of becoming a part of Weston or a part of the City of Sunrise, located adjacent to Weston, as part of the Local Bill.<ref name=":14"/> On April 1, 1997, by a nearly two-to-one margin, the voters residing in the Bonaventure area voted in favor of becoming part of the City of Weston.<ref name=":14"/>
