Windsor’s history is
mostly unwritten

The public archives hold no old photos of Windsor. The rest are in attics, shoeboxes and the historical society. Help start the collection.

The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Windsor, formerly known as North Beach, is a gated community and census-designated place (CDP) on North Hutchinson Island in Indian River County, Florida, United States. The population was 256 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Sebastian–Vero Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 256 to 330 (+29%). Half of its homes were built before 1997.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Windsor yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Windsor is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Windsor has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge in Windsor, 1.2 miles away.
