History of Windsor
From its humble beginnings as a small French agricultural settlement in the 18th century to becoming a bustling industrial hub, Windsor has seen it all. In 1797, after the American Revolution, the settlement of “Sandwich” was established but later renamed to Windsor after a similar town in Berkshire, England. Sandwich along with Ford City and Walkerville were separate entities (towns) until 1935, but are now historic neighborhoods in Windsor. The modern automotive industry in Canada can be traced back to 1904 when the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd was formed, just one year after production started in Detroit.
Today, Windsor remains one of Canada’s major automobile manufacturing centres and is the home to the HQ of Stellantis Canada, two Ford Motor Company engine plants, and several tool and die and automotive parts manufacturers. There is also a very vibrant and well-established tourism industry with Caesars Windsor (casino), extensive riverfront parks, Little Italy “Via Italia” all being popular tourist destinations.
Other important aspects of the history and culture of Windsor:
- Notable people: Several high profile individuals were born in Windsor including Shania Twain (singer, songwriter), Paul Martin (former Canadian PM), Oliver Platt (actor) amongst several others
- Cultural festivals: Windsor hosts a variety of cultural festivals each year including that Canadian of all things, Poutine Feast, Art in the Park, Windsor Riverfront Carnival, Tour Di Via Italia and the Windsor Craft Beer Festival, to name a few.
- Education system: Windsor is home to the University of Windsor, considered one of the top universities in Canada and ranked #641 – 650 in World rankings. St Clair College and Collège Boréal are also situated within Windsor.
- Sports teams: Like other cities and towns within Canada, Windsorites are very passionate about their sports teams including the Windsor Express from the National Basketball League (NBL) and the Windsor Spitfires (Ontario Hockey League).

Things to do in Windsor
There’s lots to do in Windsor and it’s usually a challenge to figure out exactly what we want to get done from the long list of amazing things to see and do in Windsor. Here’s what a typical day in Windsor looks like for a member of our team here at NetJOI.
- The day would get started with a walk or jog along the Windsor waterfront. Depending on the day, could aim to complete the entire Windsor riverfront trail of 9.4km.
- Grab breakfast at either Toast or my personal favorite The Squirrel Cage
- After breakfast, head over to Dippe Gardens or any of the other amazing gardens throughout Windsor
- As an aviation buff, I would also try to stop by the Canadian Aviation Museum
- Finally, to close out the day, I would grab a late lunch / early dinner at Spago, which reminds me of being back in Italy.
