Wetherby is a market town in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough, West Yorkshire (formerly part of the Wapentake of Skyrack, in the West Riding of Yorkshire), England. It stands on the River Wharfe, and has been for centuries a crossing place and staging post on the Great North Road, being mid-way between London and Edinburgh. Wetherby Bridge, which spans the River Wharfe, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade II listed structure. As a result of its situation on the main road, a large number of coaching inns were established in Wetherby, and many are still used today by travellers.
The 1086 Domesday Book mentions Wedrebi which means wether- or ram-farm. Another meaning is settlement on the bend of a river. Local folklore has it that when heavy snow storms hit the county, Wetherby does not get as much because the Weather Goes By.
