It lies in the east of the "Weerbach" (Weer River).Until World War II Weer was a farming village. After WW II, due to developing industrialisation in the peripherials (mainly Schwaz and Innsbruck) it became much bigger and has ca. 1500 inhabitants so far.The area of Weer is 561 ha, of which 330 ha are used for extended agriculture.

The first settlers were Illyrian, later house names also refer to presece of Romans. For 4 centuries Weer then was located in the roman province of Rhaetia.The village is named first in 1075 A.D., its name derives from a celtic-illyrian root.Around 1500 A.D., bacause of the enormous silver mining industry in Schwaz, the outlying villages were also investigated for natural resources. Thus, a small gold washery was established in Weer. The crest of the village still shows a gold washing tool in the bottom.
