Town of Windsor

Windsor is a town in Kennebec County, settled in 1790 and incorporated on March 3, 1809 as the town of Malta from New Waterford Plantation.

The name was changed to Gerry in 1821, in honor of Elbridge Gerry, Governor of Massachusetts (1810-1812) and Vice President of the United States (1813-1814), and to Windsor the following year.

Windsor's village center clusters around the town office, the fire station, the Post Office, and Hussey's General Store at the intersection of Maine Routes 32 and 105.

The Windsor Fair attracts crowds each fall to this once agricultural, but increasingly residential, community east of Augusta.
