Weybridge is made up of two earlier settlements, Bald Nap and Foster’s Point. These communities had winter people before Weybridge became permanently settled. It is believed that Foster’s Point was named after one of these early winter dwellers. The Adeys, Gullifords and Reids probably came to these areas in the 1850’s but did not settle there until the 1860’s. Records indicate that the Reid’s may have settled first but local belief is that the three families came, from the Hant’s Harbour area, around the same time.

Weybridge is a community that was settled because of the availability of land and good growing soil for gardening as well as easy access to the forests. Fishing was not considered an industry in this area.

The communities were renamed due to confusion in mail delivery with another Foster’s Point in the area. The name Weybridge was suggested and officially the community’s name in 1953.

Weybridge residents avail of medical, banking and government services in nearby Clarenville. The community offers fire protection through a local Volunteer Fire Department and garbage disposal through the Local Waste Management Committee.
