Windsor, Alachua County, Florida

Windsor is an unincorporated community in Alachua County, Florida, United States.

[1] Windsor is located in central Alachua County, east of Gainesville, at 29°38′47″N 82°11′11″W / 29.64639°N 82.18639°W / 29.64639; -82.18639 (29.64639, -82.18639), and has a total area of 0.8776 sq mi (2.273 km2).

New residents from both northern and southern states were attracted by the development of citrus culture in the area.

[3] In the 1890s the town boasted a doctor, three stores, a real estate office, a grist mill, two sawmills, and factories producing boxes, cedar baskets and fertilizer.

Severe freezes in 1884, 1895, and 1899 devastated the orange groves and as a result Windsor's population declined.
