NIDO Canada Windsor Chapter

Windsor

Windsor was first settled in 1748 as a French agricultural settlement, making it the oldest continually inhabited city in Canada west of the Quebec border. The area grew out of a small Jesuit Mission and was first named Petite Côte (Little Coast), and later became known as La Côte de Misère (Poverty Coast) because of the sandy soils near LaSalle.

Windsor grew in steady unison with the city of Detroit, MI on the opposite bank of the river. The settlement grew slowly and remained under French control until 1797, when an increasing number of British loyalists began moving in, seeking to remain under British rule and avoid the political changes of post civil war America.

Windsor is also the final stop of the Underground Railroad and the history is preserved at the John Freeman Walls Historic Site

More to come.
