The rich Hawkesbury Valley was discovered in July 1789 by Governor Arthur Phillip while searching by boat for fertile farmland to grow food for the struggling Sydney settlement.
In 1794, Lieutenant Governor Francis Grose made land grants of 30 acres each to 22 settlers. Windsor, as a river port, became the colony's granary. Francis Greenway, the Colonial Architect, designed his masterpiece, St Matthew's Church (1817-1822) and the Windsor Courthouse (1821-22). Both are still functioning today.
