Windsor, Colorado: a brief history. The Windsor Chamber of Commerce tells the story of Windsor’s beginnings, with the German and Russian immigrants coming in the late 1800s to work the beet fields. The town’s location on the Poudre River, which was an important trail of early commerce, and the high level ground alongside, suited the early railroad network moving the riches of the earth’s bounty from producer to consumer. From the founding of the town in 1882, through the farm-based mills and industry in the early 1900s, Windsor people worked hard day to day on the farms and in the fields, with a few merchants clustered together at the town center. That changed in 1969 when Eastman Kodak came to town. Kodak has been a mainstay of the community ever since, moving the town beyond its previously all-agricultural economy. Now employing 2,000 people, the company manufactures motion picture film, medical x-ray film, thermal media, and color paper at its Windsor plant.

Windsor CO amenities. Windsor offers a lot to do, with numerous parks and biking trails. The Poudre River Trail offers biking, running, rollerblading or any other non-motorized travel along its 20 mile length – including, of course, walking. On scenic Windsor Lake, there are boat ramps open to the public so you can spend a relaxing day fishing for trout, perch, bluegill, and catfish. Fishing is good year-round. Boating permits are available on a daily or annual basis for residents and nonresidents alike. Windsor has three championship quality golf courses right in town and dozens more within an easy drive. If your recreation involves shopping, the Outlets at Loveland are right down the road with about 50 name brand outlet shops including fashion, electronics, jewelry, shoes and toys. And if you enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, and skiing, the Rocky Mountains are close by – and with no drive at all, you have them within view, with spectacular effect.

Living in Windsor. In addition to the extensive network of parks, families in Windsor enjoy the benefits of a progressive school system, with lots of activities and community involvement. The town has four public elementary schools, a middle and high school, and two charter schools (one elementary and one middle). Several are rated “Excellent” or “High” in the Colorado School Accountability Report system. Windsor is in the Fort Collins-Greeley-Loveland Triangle (Hey, how many people can say they live on a hypotenuse?) and it’s an easy drive to any of those larger cities for anything they offer. Windsor’s small-town atmosphere combines very well with big city conveniences and attractions. If you get bored by having the weather the same all the time, Northern Colorado is for you! Although it’s true you will have mild sunny weather 300 days each year on average, conditions can go from mild to wild with virtually no notice. Snowstorms in May? It happens. Coloradans love it, play in it, and make the most of it.
