Windsor is a village and former town in Dane County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 5,286 at the 2000 census. The communities of Lake Windsor, Morrisonville, and Token Creek are located within the village. Windsor voted to incorporate as a village on November 3, 2015; prior to its incorporation, it was a town, and a portion of the town was a census-designated place.
A portion of the former town was part of a disputed annexation by the Village of DeForest. In July 2004 the village and town reached a settlement in which part of the disputed area would be annexed by the village and part would remain with the town. In addition, the town and village agreed to exchange other less populated land.
While visited in the late 1830s, the first settler to the town was William Lawrence, who came from the state of Vermont in 1841. He later served in the Civil War. James Morrison settled in the town in 1843 at what is now Morrisonville.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 30.8 square miles (79.9 km²), of which, 30.7 square miles (79.6 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km²) of it (0.32%) is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 5,286 people, 1,880 households, and 1,549 families residing in the town. The population density was 172.0 people per square mile (66.4/km²). There were 1,923 housing units at an average density of 62.6 per square mile (24.2/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 96.71% White, 0.45% Black or African American, 0.32% Native American, 0.93% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 0.44% from other races, and 1.12% from two or more races. 1.15% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
