Windsor is a major hub of Northern Connecticut, situated close to the Massachusetts border. It has a population of 30,000, over an area of 31 square miles, giving it a population density of 972 people per square mile.  The town is comprised of several smaller communities; Poquonock, Rainbow, Hayden Station, Wilson and Deerfield.  May beautiful parks and natural vistas adorn Windsor's country side, including Windsor Meadows State Park, Welch Park, Keney Park, Stroh Park and Strawberry Hills Park.

Windsor has a rich history, which started with its settlement in 1633, when it became the first settlement in Connecticut. These early settlers arrived at the invitation of the Podunk Indians who inhabited the region. The town was originally called Doorchester, named after a massive influx of settlers that arrived from Doorchester Massachusetts. The name was later changed to Windsor, as a tribute to the old world town of Windsor England.  The first highway in Connecticut was opened up in Windsor shortly after in 1638, that catered to settlers traveling to other towns in the state by way of Massachusetts. The Windsor historical society maintains accurate records of Windsor's past as well as several locations of historical significance.

These days, Windsor serves as a bedroom community to Hartford, and to a lesser extent Springfield, but has an extremely robust economy of its own. It has many centers of attraction including golf clubs, parks, trails, and just as importantly, great places to eat. It has been home to many notable people throughout the years, including major league baseball pitcher Moe Drabowski, professional boxer John Scully and United States representative Lancelot Phelps. Windsor is also extremely close to several high profile shopping areas, such as Buckland Hills and the Holyoke Mall.
