| SEAL | The seal of the Town of South Windsor, CT, was designed by Doris Burgdorf, a member of the South Windsor Historical Society and author of "A Country Mile." The elements identified with the town's character include the shad, shad-blow blossoms, arrowheads, tobacco plant, rocket, shield, and lattice. The seal was officially adopted in 1969. |
| HISTORY | By the mid-1600's, some of the early settlers of Windsor, CT, began using land on the east bank of the Connecticut
River for grazing and farming, and by the end of the century several families had made their homes in the area
now known as South Windsor. In 1768, the residents of the area were allowed to incorporate as the separate town
of East Windsor, which then included all of East Windsor, South Windsor and Ellington. Known for its agriculture and ship building, the town supplied more than 200 volunteers for the Revolution as well as supplies of cattle and cloth. In 1786, Ellington became an independent town, followed by South Windsor in 1845.
