Weston County encompasses 6,216 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including tree-covered hills, prairies, and portions of the Black Hills region.
Established in 1890 from parts of Crook County, Weston County received its name from John B. Weston, a railroad promoter who influenced regional development.
The Weston County Gazette functions as the primary news source, connecting residents through local stories and maintaining records of community developments.
