It's no longer "Weston"
For months, the center of the National Accelerator Laboratory's administrative activities has been located in what is formally known as the NAL Village while the post office address is P.O. Box 500, Batavia, IL., 60510. Yet, the mass media and others continually seem to refer to NAL as being at Weston. Well, it's official now. The Village of Weston was officially dissolved last week, 22 months after the last of some 400 residents of the DuPage County suburb moved out to make way for acquisition of the site by the state of Illinois for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Circuit Court Judge Bertram Rathje, in Wheaton, signed the dissolution papers after the 1970 census figures reported that nobody lives in Weston any longer. Weston was formed in 1963; it passed into history seven years after its birth.
