In 1992 Windsor became
Sonoma County's newest incorporated Town, but our roots go back into
the last century. In 1855, Windsor emerged as an agriculture town,
with the rolling hills and plains reminding an early settler, Hiram
Lewis, of the English countryside surrounding Windsor Castle; hence
the name.
While still an emerging new town, where neighborhood pride of ownership prevails, we also proudly preserve our historic heritage. Our small town feel is complemented by: modern shopping centers; youth, senior and community centers; and convenient health care centers and schools. Oak-covered hills and valleys, fields of vineyards, soaring hot air balloons and distant plumes of the geysers welcome visitors, residents and businesses to Windsor's countrified lifestyle. Sonoma County's fourth largest town, Windsor has a population of approximately 20,000.
Many
Windsor residents work within town limits or commute
a short distance to work. This close proximity to
work and home, complete with shopping conveniences
weaves a desirable quality of life into our
community. |
