On this map of South Windsor, each of the squares depicted in this Bicentennial Quilt are denoted by a red dot. The Town of South Windsor encompasses 28.5 square miles and, in the year 1976, has a population of approximately 17,500. The Town has nine churches, nine public schools and one parochial school. In this year, 1976, the Town is governed by a Town Council-Town Manager form of government.
Please note that despite possible inaccuracies, we will include the description of each quilt square as published in the 1995 revised and corrected second edition booklet. This second edition was published in celebration of South Windsor’s “sesquicentennial” anniversary, 1845-1995, and was dedicated to the memory of Gail Woodard, who passed away in 1994. The revised edition was compiled by Charles E. Woodward in September, 1995, with the assitance of Doris Burgdorf who provided many historical corrections.
