Windsor History...did you know?
That Windsor was the first Canadian terminal of the Underground Railroad.
After the
War of 1812 and before the U.S. Civil War, escaped slaves from the south found
protection here under the British flag.
John Brown brought the first black slaves to Canada, arriving in Windsor
via the underground railway.
