Windsor is a small community located in the state of Indiana, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. It also counts as a census-designated place (CDP), which is a special area the government uses for counting people. Windsor is unique because it's split between two different areas called counties: Randolph County and Delaware County.
History of Windsor
Windsor has an interesting past! This community was first planned out in 1832. People believe it got its name from the famous Windsor Castle in England. Imagine a place in Indiana named after a real castle!
A post office opened in Windsor in 1831, which was a big deal back then for sending letters and packages. It stayed open for many years, helping people connect, but it eventually closed down in 1898.
