- WELCOME :Windsor Terrace Brooklyn, Brooklyn
Windsor Terrace is a modest residential area located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. It is bordered by Prospect Park to the east and northeast, Park Slope at Prospect Park West, Green-Wood Cemetery, and Borough Park at McDonald Avenue to the northwest, west, and southwest, and Kensington at Caton Avenue to the south. Windsor Terrace’s 0.503-square-mile (1.30 km2) area was home to 20,988 people according to the 2010 United States Census.
- History
Before Europeans arrived in the New World, the Canarsee Indians lived in the area now known as Windsor Terrace.[7][8][9] The Gowanus and Werpos tribes lived in the nearby area. John Vanderbilt purchased the land, which was located in the far northwestern section of the Town of Flatbush, as a farm. Some of the land was also maintained by the Martense family, who owned property in the area until 1895. This region was appealing because to its proximity to central Brooklyn, the recent completion of the Coney Island Plank Road through the area, and the quiet Green-Wood Cemetery to the southwest.
Residents protested after Key Food, the neighborhood’s only major grocery, shut down in 2015. A new, smaller Key Food-owned supermarket, Windsor Farms Market, has opened and is currently functioning in a section of the original facility. At the same time, a food co-op called “Windsor Terrace Food Coop” was formed, modeled after the Park Slope Food Coop.The co-op operates as both a food supplier and a community gathering place. To join, residents must pay a one-time fee and agree to a work requirement, however memberships from other Brooklyn food co-ops are accepted. The food, especially vegetables, is frequently higher quality and less expensive than at local stores.
