WINDSOR

 With a crucial position on the Detroit River, Windsor was an area of friction between British, French and American interests starting almost with the arrival of the first missionaries around 1640. The city possesses a fine university and attractive parks, especially Jackson Park with its sunken gardens, and Dieppe Gardens, right on the river.
