Windsor, the southernmost city in Canada across the Detroit River from the City of Detroit, Michigan, is “The City of Roses.” The Windsor area was an agricultural settlement in 1749, the first in Canada west of Montreal. After the American Revolution, the settlement named itself after the town in Berkshire, England. The 2011 Census reported 210,891 residents, a decrease from 216,473 reported in 2006.

Windsor established itself as a village in 1854, when the Canadian National Railway connected it to the rest of Canada, then became a town in 1858 and ultimately a city in 1892. During the 1920s, prohibition prevailed in Michigan while alcohol was legal in Ontario and rum-running from Windsor was common.

Windsor’s economy is mainly manufacturing, tourism, education, and government services. The city is a major Canadian automobile manufacturing center with Chrysler Canada headquarters, Chrysler minivan assembly and Ford engine production plants, and several tool and die and car parts manufacturers.

Caesars Windsor, one of Canada’s largest casinos, has been popular with American visitors since opening in 1994. Windsor is the headquarters location of Hiram Walker & Sons Limited, now owned by Pernod Ricard. Hiram Walker founded the distillery in 1858 in what was then Walkerville, Ontario, now an historic Windsor neighborhood. The diverse economy includes pharmaceutical, insurance, and alternative energy firms. Windsor is home to the Windsor Salt Mine and the Great Lakes Regional office of the International Joint Commission.

The Port of Windsor on the Great Lakes/St Lawrence Seaway System is the third-largest Canadian Great Lakes port in shipments. Windsor is the western terminus of both Highway 401, Canada’s busiest expressway, and Via Rail’s Quebec City–Windsor Corridor trains. Windsor’s Via station is the nation’s sixth-busiest in passenger traffic. The regional Windsor Airport has regularly scheduled commuter air service. The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport has regular flights to additional destinations.

Windsor connects to the USA by the Ambassador Bridge, the Detroit–Windsor Tunnel, a Canadian Pacific Railway tunnel, and the Detroit–Windsor Truck Ferry. The Ambassador Bridge is North America’s foremost international border crossing; 27 percent of all American-Canadian trade crosses the Ambassador Bridge.
