About Windsor
Windsor is a small rural town in Isle of Wight County — about 2,600 residents at the crossroads of US-460 and VA-258, midway between Suffolk and Petersburg. It functions as a quiet country bedroom community: peanut and cotton fields, modest ranch homes and newer subdivisions on large lots, and a small downtown strip with local businesses. Its growth is tied to the US-460 corridor and spillover from Suffolk and Smithfield. Loblolly pines, the Blackwater River to the east, and wide-open farmland define the setting.
