The name Watton first appeared in writing in an 11th century publication of 10th century Anglo-Saxon wills as Wattun. The name was later recorded in the Domesday Book as both Wodtune and Watone. The origin of the word is not clear, and is variously ascribed to Old English wad or woad, and ton meaning small farming settlement; or waden meaning ford; or from waetan meaning watery. The suffix 'at Stone' dates from the early 13th century and may be from the presence of two large examples of Hertfordshire puddingstone, which are now situated at the Waggon and Horses public house.
The chances are that the suffix is more likely to derive from the Roman road of Stone Street that ran from the Roman Verulamium, now St Albans, fording the River Beane at Watton at Stone. The area where the bridge over the railway was built was shown on tithe maps as a common, and the fields to the east and west of this point were named Stoneyfield and Further Stoneyfield. It is likely that the Roman Road passed through this area, and the later village took its name from this routeway. In the 1950s, sections of the road agger, composed of large flint nodules, could still be seen at several points in the village; most obviously, the northern boundary of the grounds of Chestnut House preserves the line of the road.
A battle between the Danes and Saxons took place nearby in 1016. In later years, the natural springs in the area once made the village a popular spa town.
Watton at Stone has a number of dwellings dating from early Tudor, such as Watton House, through to late Georgian constructions. Its flintstone rubble Anglican church dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint Andrew dates from the fifteenth century, and is built in the Perpendicular style.
There have been some significant archaeological finds here too. An Iron Age Aston Mirror was found nearby, closer to Watton at Stone than to the village of Aston, but technically in Aston parish due to the convoluted border. It is now kept at the British Museum. A collection of Belgic armour and weaponry was discovered in the mid 19th century by workers digging a drain at the north end of the village.
