Woodstock
is the county town. This county is bounded north by the county of
Orange, east by Connecticut River, south by Windham County, and west by
Rutland and a part of Addison Counties.
Windsor
County is watered by White, Queechy, Black, West, and Williams’ Rivers,
and by other excellent mill streams. The surface of the county is
uneven, and in some parts mountainous, but generally it is too elevated
to admit of cultivation. The soil produces fine crops of grain, hay,
vegetables, and fruits: the lands are peculiarly adapted for grazing.
The
beautiful Connecticut, which washes its whole eastern boundary, gives to
this county large tracts of alluvial meadow land, and affords it a navigable
channel to the sea board, for its surplus production and for its wants
from abroad.
The
hydraulic power of Windsor County is very large, and its local position
is such as to induce men of enterprise and capital to embark in manufacturing
operations, which are annually increasing, with fair prospects of success.
