Miscellaneous Information

So far, we found very little information about East Windsor. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added East Windsor to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of East Windsor - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with East Windsor, please Contact Us.

Various Identification Codes ...

GNIS Codes ...

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) was created to address the problems caused by spelling and naming variations. The BGN will usually recognize an existing name or, when necessary, chose a name for a geographic feature (such as a mountain, lake, river, stream, city, town, village, dam, bridge, etc).

The BGN names are kept in a database called the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and it is the official Federal repository. The GNIS is operated and maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

A unique and permanent identification number has been assigned for each name in the GNIS database. These names and identifiers are definitive and it is intended that they are to be used by all departments of the Federal Government:

GNIS ID for East Windsor: 1943546

GNIS ID for Hartford County: 212338

GNIS ID for Connecticut: 1779780

FIPS Codes ...

In a past effort, various federal agencies created a set of codes with a purpose similar to the GNIS codes. These codes are called the Federal Information Processing Standard (or the FIPS 55 codes). Although they are still used by some organizations, the FIPS codes are obsolete and will ultimately be replaced by the GNIS codes.

The following FIPS codes apply to East Windsor:

Place (Community) Code:	24730
State Code:	09 (Connecticut)
County Code:	003 (Hartford County)

Since the Place and County FIPS codes are not unique and can be repeated in other States, it's necessary to combine the State code with the Place and County FIPS codes to uniquely identify them - for example:

State/Place Code:	09/24730
State/County Code:	09/003

As already mentioned, the FIPS codes are to be replaced by the GNIS codes. The following reflect those changes:

	FIPS Code	translates to	GNIS Code
State of Connecticut:	09		1779780
Hartford County:	09/003		212338
East Windsor:	09/24730		1943546

Regional Codes ...

For statistical purposes, the US Census Bureau has divided the country into four Regions. East Windsor would have been located in Region #1 (the Northeast Region).

In turn, the US Census Bureau has further divided each Region into Divisions. East Windsor would have been located in Division #1 (the New England Division).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has created ten Federal Regions. East Windsor would have been located in Region I (Region 1).

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created ten Management Regions. East Windsor would have been located in Region I (Region 1).

ZIP Codes ...

While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like East Windsor, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) East Windsor. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code are defined by the needs of the USPS and can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.

The ZIP code for East Windsor: 06088<2>
