Windsor is a town located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is a service centre for the western part of the county and is situated on Highway 101. The town has a history dating back to its use by the Mi'kmaq Nation for several millennia prior to European invasion and seizure. Windsor is The birthplace of Hockey. The great game of hockey was first played in Windsor about the year 1800, on Long Pond by the boys of King’s College, Canada's first College. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsor,_Nova_Scotia

Long before it was known as Windsor, the area around the junction of the Avon and St. Croix rivers was known by the Mi’kmaq as Pisiguit, appropriately meaning “Junction of Waters”. The rivers empty into the nearby Minas Basin, which allowed ships to sail from the Atlantic Ocean, up the Bay of Fundy and down into the heart of the province. The fertile headlands around these rivers made for ideal farming and Acadian settlers to the area did just that, erecting mills along the rivers to harness their power. The town of Windsor also became an important stop for anyone travelling between Halifax and the Annapolis Valley. Crossing the Avon River with horses and wagons was only possible by fording the mud flats just above the town during low tide, while people could hire a ferry during high tide. By 1837, Windsor was the site of a wooden toll bridge; however, the structure wasn’t able to bear the weight of trains and passengers still needed to disembark, cross the bridge by stagecoach to transfer to another train on the other side.
