Welham Green, a village in the parish of North Mymms, Hertfordshire, has evolved over the past century into a small community, particularly after the opening of its railway station in 1986. Located just west of the A1(M) and near the former Great North Road, the village is experiencing recent housing developments that could merge it with the nearby town of Hatfield. However, local residents, including members of the North Mymms Green Belt Society, are advocating to preserve the village's character amidst this growth. The settlement has a population of approximately 3,639. It sits within the North Mymms district.
