History
The city started development after Minto Communities purchased 3,800 acres for $51 million. They later added 200 more acres. It became the 39th city in Palm Beach County in 2016. The city was named in part as a nod to Weston in neighboring Broward County, a similar large-scale community planned by a developer in the 1980s.[4] In November, 2019, Wellington Regional Medical Center purchased 35 acres for $12.3 million to establish a presence in the community.
