History of Windsor

Windsor was founded in 1890 and its history stretches beyond its official incorporation. J.L. Hilton was a settler who built a Halfway house between Greeley and Fort Collins in 1873. This served as a stopping point for travelers, stage coaches and mail deliveries. In 1882 the town of Windsor began to steadily grow with the arrival of the Great Salt Lake and Pacific Railroad, connecting Greeley and Fort Collins. The sugar beet played an important role in the growth and development of Windsor bringing large immigrant families to work on these beet farms and in the sugar factory.

Windsor’s population surpasses 35,000 people and yet, still maintains its small-town charm that points to what life might have been like a hundred years ago.
