South windsor, CT-Population 24,723 (Yr 2002) Area 28 SQ Miles

South Windsor is located in north-central Connecticut on the east bank of the Connecticut River, about mid-way between Hartford, CT, and Springfield, MA in close proximity of Interstate 84 and 91 and I-291. The convenient access provided by the interstate high way system has contributed to South Windsor's development as a suburban community.

By the mid-1600's, some of the early settlers of Windsor, CT, began using land on the east bank of the Connecticut River for grazing and farming, and by the end of the century several families had made their homes in the area now known as South Windsor. In 1768, the residents of the area were allowed to incorporate as the separate town of East Windsor, which then included all of East Windsor, South Windsor and Ellington. Known for its agriculture and ship building, the town supplied more than 200 volunteers for the Revolution as well as supplies of cattle and cloth. In 1786, Ellington became an independent town, followed by South Windsor in 1845.

Throughout much of its history, the Town has been characterized by agriculture, resulting from fertile land and abundant water resources. Today, however, South Windsor affords a blend of gracious residential living, a thriving commercial community and an expanding high-tech industrial base.
