Security in Weston, MA covers a town that split off from Watertown as a separate precinct in 1698 and incorporated as its own town in 1713, on land originally used for cattle grazing.
Its economy turned on Stony Brook’s grist and sawmills until the Worcester Turnpike arrived in 1810, followed by rail lines in 1834 and 1844 — by 1900, Weston had become an affluent residential town for Boston businessmen.
That commuter-town character still shapes the town today, along with institutions like Boston College’s Weston Observatory and Regis College.

What Local Crime Data Actually Shows
