The 19th century saw Weston grow from a tiny village of about 100
inhabitants, to a thriving Victorian seaside resort of nearly 20,000
people. One hundred years later again, it has a population of almost
70,000. Weston's was formed during the 19th century by local men of
vision, entrepreneurs whose bold decisions turned Weston-super-Mare
into the town it is today.
The name Weston is made up of two Old
English or Saxon words meaning the west tun or settlement. Because
there are several places called Weston in Somerset descriptions were
added to tell them apart. The descriptive part of its name has remained in medieval
Latin. Super means on or above, and mare is Latin for
sea.
