Windsor, Border city in Ontario, Canada
Windsor extends along the southern bank of the Detroit River, forming an international boundary with Detroit across the water through a suspension bridge and tunnels.
The French agricultural settlement established in 1749 marks Windsor as the oldest continuous European settlement in Ontario west of Montreal, preceding its current name adoption in 1836.
The Detroit-Windsor International Freedom Festival attracts thousands of visitors each summer with North America's largest fireworks display over the Detroit River connecting both nations.
The Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor Tunnel connect Canada and the United States, making Windsor the primary entry point for international trade between these countries.
Windsor maintains the distinction of being Canada's southernmost city, positioned at a latitude south of parts of California and sharing the same parallel as northern Italy.
