Hall of Famer of the Week

JOHN WHITING STORRS
1824-1887
JOURNALIST
PHOTOGRAPHER
NEWSPAPER EDITOR
DERBY POET LAUREATE

Our Hall of Famer of the Week may just have been Derby's "poet laureate", but he was also a reporter, photographer and orator.  He worked for just about every newspaper that covered Derby during his lifetime. Read more about John Storrs here.

Our Derby History Plaque of the Week is a companion piece to the MLK mural painted on the flood control wall along the Greenway on the Housatonic River side of the trail. We have several plaques awaiting better weather before they will be installed.

Valley Heritage Driving Tour - begins & ends in Derby

 

The City of Derby has developed an official and informative City of Derby website which will be paid for and maintained by the City. You can visit the site at http://www.derbyct.gov/.

This current website was developed back in 1995 as part of the Electronic Valley project which helped launch the Internet age for almost all of the Valley towns. Derby becomes the last of the Valley communities to launch sites operated by the city governments. You can read more about that history here.
