Although fishing and trading employ fewer people in the area since their peak in earlier centuries, tourism has had a strong presence in the town since the 18th century. Weymouth is a tourist [[seaside resort|resort]], and its economy depends on its harbour and visitor attractions; the town is a gateway situated half-way along the [[Jurassic Coast]], a [[World Heritage Site]] on the Dorset and east [[Devon]] coast, important for its geology and landforms. Weymouth Harbour is home to cross-channel ferries, pleasure boats and private yachts, and nearby [[Portland Harbour]] is home to the [[Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy]], where the [[Sailing at the Summer Olympics|sailing events]] of the [[2012 Olympic Games]] will be held.

Weymouth originated as a settlement on a constricted site to the south and west of Weymouth Harbour, an outlying part of [[Wyke Regis]]. The town developed from the mid 12th century onwards, but was not noted until the 13th century. By 1252 it was established as a seaport and become a chartered [[borough]].<ref name="dorsetpage">{{cite web | year = 2000 | url = http://www.thedorsetpage.com/locations/place/W200.htm | title = Weymouth, Dorset, England | publisher = The Dorset Page | accessdate = 2006-11-26}}</ref> [[Melcombe Regis]] developed separately on the [[peninsula]] to the north of the harbour; it was mentioned as a licensed wool port in 1310.<ref name="dorsetpage" />

Melcombe Regis is thought to be the first port at which the [[Black Death]] came into England in June 1348, possibly either aboard a spice ship or an army ship.<ref name="dorsetpage" /> In their early history [[Weymouth and Melcombe Regis]] were rivals for trade and industry, but the towns were united in an [[Act of Parliament]] in 1571 to form a double borough.<ref name="dorsetpage" /> Both towns have become known as Weymouth, despite Melcombe Regis being the main town centre. The villages of [[Upwey, Dorset|Upwey]], [[Broadwey]], [[Preston, Dorset|Preston]], [[Wyke Regis]], [[Chickerell]], [[Southill, Weymouth|Southill]], [[Radipole]] and [[Littlemoor]] have become part of the built-up area.

In the centre of the town lies Weymouth Harbour; although it was the reason for the town's foundation, the harbour separates the two areas of [[Melcombe Regis]] (the main town centre) and Weymouth (the southern harbourside) from each other.

Weymouth is the largest town in the area, larger than the county town of [[Dorchester, Dorset|Dorchester]], which lies just to the north, and hence is a centre of activity for the nearby population. A steep ridge of [[chalk]] called the [[South Dorset Downs]] separates Dorchester and Weymouth; they are less agricultural than the valleys in the centre and north of [[Dorset]], but have [[dairy agriculture|dairy]] and [[arable land|arable]] farms. The nearest villages to Weymouth are part of the built-up area, including Wyke Regis, [[Chickerell]] and Preston.

===Climate===
Due to its location on the south-west coast of England, Weymouth has a [[temperate]] climate ([[Koppen climate classification#GROUP C: Temperate/mesothermal climates|Köppen climate classification]] ''Cfb''), with a small variation in daily and annual temperatures.

[[Image:Weymouth Harbour from the south side showing The George Inn.jpg|thumb|left|Weymouth's outer harbour hosts a large fishing fleet.]]
Weymouth Harbour is long and narrow, and formed the [[estuary]] of the [[River Wey, Dorset|River Wey]] until the building of a bridge to Westham, which separated the harbour's [[Weymouth Marina|backwaters]] from [[Radipole Lake]]. For centuries the harbour was a passenger terminal and trade and cargo port: goods handled included wool and spices, and in the 20th century Weymouth was a bulk importer of fertiliser and cars.<ref name="dorsetpage" /> The old harbourside, on both sides of the seaward end of the harbour, still hosts a large fishing fleet, with docks, unloading areas, and a cross-channel ferry terminal. Fishing and cargo trading employ fewer people in the area since their peak in earlier centuries, but local fishermen catch the largest mass of fish in England and the third largest in the United Kingdom.<ref name="porthistory" /> The inner harbour has been refurbished in two phases, in 1994&ndash;1996 and in 2002, to include a new [[Weymouth Marina|marina]] with hundreds of berths for pleasure boats, cruisers and sailing boats.<ref name="porthistory" /> Local boats offer fishing and diving trips, pleasure cruises along the [[Jurassic Coast]], and thrill-rides to the [[Isle of Portland]].<ref name="boattrips">{{cite web | year = 2006 | url = http://www.jurassiccoast.com/329/visiting-the-coast-31/getting-to-and-around-the-jurassic-coast-148/boat-trips-466.html | title = Jurassic Coast &ndash; Boat Trips | publisher = Jurassic Coast | accessdate = 2007-07-09}}</ref>

The main shopping centre in the area is in Melcombe Regis, consisting of two [[pedestrianisation|pedestrianised]] streets (St.&nbsp;Thomas's and St.&nbsp;Mary's Street), shops along the esplanade, and a new precinct stretching from St. Thomas's Street to the harbourside, built in the 1990s.

==Transport==
[[Image:Tramway near Ferrys corner.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Weymouth Harbour Tramway]] or ''Quay Branch'']]
[[Weymouth railway station]] is the terminus of the [[South Western Main Line|route from]] [[London Waterloo]] and the [[Heart of Wessex Line|route from]] [[Westbury, Wiltshire|Westbury]] and [[Bristol]]. Its size was appropriate for the rail traffic that came in and out of Weymouth on summer Saturdays, however it was oversized as trains became less popular, and was demolished in 1986. A smaller station took up part of the site, and the rest was given to commercial development. Parts of the South West Main Line west of [[Poole]] have been reduced from dual to single track; as part of preparations for the 2012 Olympic Games, local councils have lobbied the [[Department for Transport]] to relay the track and increase services to [[London]] and Bristol, and to introduce new direct services to [[Exeter]].<ref name="2012olympics">{{cite web | year = 2005 | url = http://www.dorsetforyou.com/index.jsp?articleid=352684 | title = London 2012 Olympic Games Sailing Events | publisher = Dorset County Council | accessdate = 2006-08-22}}</ref> Services to London Waterloo began running every 30 minutes from December 2007, but services through Bristol to [[Cardiff]] were reduced.<ref name="trains">{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/local/display.var.1881383.0.rail_timetable_offers_london_at_the_double.php | title = Rail timetable offers London at the double | publisher = Dorset Echo | accessdate = 2007-12-05}}</ref>

An unusual feature of the railways in Weymouth was that until 1987 trains ran through the streets along the [[Weymouth Harbour Tramway]] to the [[Weymouth Quay railway station|Quay station]] at the eastern end of the harbour, to travel to [[mainland Europe]] by sea. Due to declining business, goods traffic ceased in 1972, but passenger services continued until 1987, when these services ceased from lack of use.<ref name="quaybranch">{{cite web | year = 2005 | url = http://www.johnrnew.demon.co.uk/quaybrch.htm | title = Weymouth Harbour Tramway | publisher = Island Publishing | accessdate = 2007-08-12}}</ref> The Quay Station houses the [[Condor Ferries]] Terminal; Condor Ferries' main UK port is Weymouth, and the [[HSC Condor Express]] runs from the harbour to the French port of [[St Malo]], and the [[Channel Islands]] of [[Guernsey]] and [[Jersey]].<ref name="condor">{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://www.condorferries.co.uk/Terminal/weymouth.aspx | title = Weymouth Ferry Terminal Guide | publisher = Condor Ferries | accessdate = 2008-01-03}}</ref>

[[Image:Dorset transport.png|thumb|right|400px|The A354 and A353 roads, Condor Ferries, and the South Western and Heart of Wessex lines link to Weymouth.]]
The [[A354 road]] connects the town to the [[A35 road|A35]] [[trunk road]] in Dorchester, and terminates at [[Easton, Dorset|Easton]] on the Isle of Portland. The A353 road runs east from Weymouth to the south of [[Warmwell]], where it connects with the [[A352 road|A352]] to the [[Isle of Purbeck]] and Wareham. In the 1980s the town centre was bypassed by the A354 to Portland, but the government's road building policy changed before a proposed relief road could be completed. The A354 follows its original route through Upwey and Broadwey, where traffic problems are common at peak tourist times, particularly on event days such as the carnival.<ref name="reliefroad">{{cite web | year = 2005 | url = http://www.dorsetforyou.com/index.jsp?articleid=3463 | title = Weymouth Relief Road | publisher = Dorset County Council | accessdate = 2006-06-22}}</ref>

The relief road's construction was delayed by opposition from residents and [[environmentalism|environmental]] groups, including [[Transport 2000]] and the [[Campaign to Protect Rural England]], who object to the route's partial destruction of a nature reserve, which is an [[AONB]] and [[SSSI]].<ref name="roadprotest">{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/display.var.1531988.0.relief_road_protest_lodged.php | title = Relief Road Protest Lodged | publisher = Dorset Echo | accessdate = 2007-07-10}}</ref> With Weymouth and Portland scheduled to host 2012 Olympic sailing events the project reopened; the local authorities favouring a more environmentally friendly proposal than in the 1990s.<ref name="reliefroad" /> On 5 April 2007, [[Dorset]] County Council granted planning permission for a modified proposal including a single carriageway running {{convert|7|km|mi|0}} north, and a 1000-space park-and-ride scheme, costing [[Pound sterling|£]]84.5 million.<ref name="reliefroadaccepted">{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/haveyoursay/makingtheheadlines/display.var.1311799.0.0.php?act=complaint&cid=178246 | title = Green Light for Relief Road | publisher = Dorset Echo | accessdate = 2007-04-23}}</ref> Without major delays, work is expected to commence in 2008; it was agreed that the work be completed in three years, in time for the 2012 Olympic sailing events.<ref name="reliefroadaccepted" />

The local football club, [[Weymouth F.C.]] or 'the Terras', are outside the [[Football League]] but, in common with other non-league clubs, they became professional in 2005.<ref name="terrashistory">{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://www.theterras.co.uk/website/timeline.htm | title = 'Terras' Timeline | publisher = Weymouth F.C. | accessdate = 2007-08-13}}</ref> The team enjoyed erratic success at their level; twice playing in the third round of the [[FA Cup]], the highest club competition level.<ref name="terrashistory" /> At the end of the 2005&ndash;06 season the team became champions of the [[Conference South]] (the sixth level of English football) meaning that they compete in the [[Conference National]] (the fifth level) for the first time since 1989.<ref name="terrasseasons">{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://theterras.co.uk/website/previous-seasons.htm | title = League Tables & Results | publisher = Weymouth F.C. | accessdate = 2007-08-13}}</ref> The Terras' ground is the Wessex Stadium; its record attendance is 6,500 against [[Nottingham Forest]] in the FA Cup 2005&ndash;2006 season.<ref name="terrasvsnotts">{{cite web | year = 2006 | url = http://www.football.co.uk/match_reports/weymouth_nottingham_forest_784545.shtml | title = Weymouth &ndash; Nottingham Forest | publisher = Football.co.uk | accessdate = 2007-07-03}}</ref>

The Wessex Stadium is out of town, but until 1987 the team played at a ground near the town centre, which is now an [[Asda]] supermarket. The club's move pre-dated the move to new out-of-town grounds by professional league clubs, and was the first football stadium opened in England in 32 years.<ref name="wildcats">{{cite web | year = 2007 | url = http://www.wildcatsweymouth.co.uk/ClubHistory.htm | title = Club History | publisher = Weymouth Wildcats Ltd | accessdate = 2007-09-05}}</ref> [[Motorcycle speedway]] racing was staged at the stadium from 1954 until the redevelopment; Weymouth's team was revived in 2003, and '[[Weymouth Wildcats|the Wildcats]]' race at a track adjacent to the stadium.<ref name="wildcats" /> In 2005 a scheme was proposed to rebuild the Wessex Stadium to occupy a pitch-and-putt golf course, coincidentally with Asda building on the previous stadium site. Although the plans were to move by August 2007, the scheme was shelved before construction could begin.<ref name="terrasmovedate">{{cite web | year = 2005 | url = http://archive.thisisdorset.net/2005/9/3/110823.html | title = Terras set move date | publisher = Dorset Echo | accessdate = 2005-09-03}}</ref>
