- The areas around Windsor were originally settled by the ancestors of the Pomo Indians still reside in the Town of Windsor today.
- The Town itself, traces its deep roots in Sonoma County to the mid-1850s during the post-Gold Rush era when people by the thousands came to California to seek fame and fortune. Windsor got its name in 1855 when a Pony Express rider named the community because he thought it looked like the grounds surrounding Windsor Castle in England. This 165-year legacy of exploration, expansion and entrepreneurial opportunity is still alive today. The Town was formally incorporated in 1992 and has been a family-friendly community ever since.
- Throughout its history, Windsor has evolved with the times and changed its direction based on market preferences and the needs of its residents. Originally the town was known for its prunes, hops and other agricultural commodities produced for local populations. With the coming of the railroad in 1877 Windsor had a strategic transport link to distant markets helping to fuel growth and encourage new enterprise.
