Windsor, the county seat of Bertie County, is ideally located in Northeastern North Carolina between the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers, headwaters of the Albemarle Sound. Windsor is centrally located on major highways and just a short drive from the Outer Banks. Founded in 1768, the town is located on the banks of the Cashie River and remains today much as it did in its heyday and is one of the most interesting small historically significant towns in the region.
