Windsor is a small town located in Hants County, Mainland Nova Scotia at the junction of the Avon and Saint Croix Rivers.

The area played a significant role in the Expulsion of the Acadians during the Bay of Fundy Campaign. The town has a claim to being the birth place of hockey and also was the home of Canada's first internationally best-selling author Thomas Chandler Haliburton.
