Founded as a French agricultural settlement in 1748, Windsor has grown into a multi-cultural city of just over 200,000 people. Reflecting its American neighbor across the Detroit River, it has a strong connection with the automobile industry, with many car manufacturing companies basing their Canadian headquarters in the city. The river-side area of Windsor has been developed into a lush area of parkland that offer spectacular views of the Detroit skyline, and is the city's most well known feature. http://wikitravel.org/en/Windsor (Ontario)
