About Windsor
Windsor is a small rural locality on the northern Adelaide Plains in South Australia, situated approximately 61 kilometres north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Plains Council area. The locality is positioned adjacent to Port Wakefield Road, though the main through traffic largely bypasses the old township. With a population of 133 spread across approximately 80 square kilometres, Windsor is one of the more sparsely settled localities in the region.
The surrounding northern Adelaide Plains is a predominantly agricultural landscape, known for grain cropping and grazing. Windsor's origins trace back to a private township subdivision established around 1876, and historic remnants of that early settlement give the locality a quiet, heritage character. Residents rely on nearby towns such as Dublin and Mallala — both within 20 kilometres — for everyday services, while Adelaide is accessible within an hour's drive, making Windsor a genuine rural retreat within reasonable reach of the city.
Windsor falls under postcode 5501 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Frome electorate.
