The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Windsor was established next to the Norfolk Southern Corporation's railroad. The town of Windsor was chartered on March 15, 1902. Windsor established a volunteer fire department in 1947 and its police department in 1990. In 2001, the town annexed 2.8 square miles (7.3 km2) of Isle of Wight County, which nearly tripled its population.
The Henry Saunders House and William Scott Farmstead are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
