The Windsor Village Community
The village of Windsor New Jersey is part of Washington Township in Mercer County. Earliest mention of the local area in the 1600s refers to it as a wilderness with several Indian camps. Prior to 1818 the heavily wooded lands around Windsor were called Magrilla (the name is of unknown origin). In 1816 the local section of the stagecoach “turnpike” between New York and Philadelphia ran along Main Street. Between 1831 and 1832 the railroad was constructed, and Centerville (as Windsor was then known because of its centrally-located position) became a stopover for travelers, and a thriving center for the bountiful farms and mills which serviced the growing population. The village was renamed Windsor in 1846 because a post office had already been established in the town of Centerville in Hunterdon County. Click here for a contemporary view of Windsor village. The church is part and parcel of any local community and that is particularly true of Windsor United Methodist Church. On this page we provide links to other institutions and organizations that are important in the life of the village. If you know of other links we should include on this page, please contact us .
