Windsor

The Connecticut River defines the setting of Windsor — its broad valley has shaped settlement, farming and travel along the northern edge of the Hartford area. English settlers established a community here in 1633, a beginning widely regarded as Connecticut’s first English settlement. The town’s long civic story is preserved at the Oliver Ellsworth Homestead, associated with the Windsor-born statesman who helped draft the U.S. Constitution. Historic homes and churches around the centre give Windsor a settled New England character, while riverfront land recalls the working landscape that preceded suburban growth.
