About WINDSOR

Windsor is an Australian town in the state of New South Wales, situated on the Hawkesbury River, and located in the north-western outskirts of the present-day Sydney metropolitan area.

Windsor is about 60 kilometres north-west of Sydney, and the location was chosen because of the agricultural potential of the area, and because the location was accessible by coastal shipping from Sydney. It was known as the ''bread basket'', ensuring the survival of the starving colony. The extensive agriculture caused major silting in the Hawkesbury River, by the 1890s the river had become so blocked with silt, ships could not travel up to Windsor from the coast. By then the railway, in 1864, and the road, in 1814, had been built.

Windsor is the third-oldest place of British settlement on the Australian continent. Settlement at the location was first established about 1791, near the head of navigation on the Hawkesbury River and taking advantage of the fertile river flats for agriculture. The area was originally called Green Hills, but renamed Windsor (after Windsor in England).
