Founded in 1622, Weymouth is one of the first towns settled in the Plymouth Colony. Its long history is reflected in preserved colonial homes, historic sites, and community traditions that give the town a strong sense of identity.
Today, Weymouth is a diverse, vibrant town with a mix of residential neighborhoods, green spaces, coastal areas, and active community life. The population is around 60,000, making it one of the larger South Shore towns with a suburban feel that’s still close to urban conveniences. Weymouth sits roughly 15–20 miles south of downtown Boston, bordered by Hingham, Braintree, Quincy, and the Fore River. Its location makes it a popular choice for commuters, families, and anyone seeking a balance of city access and suburban lifestyle.
