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.
