Derby CT Community Profile & History
Derby, Connecticut is the smallest city in the state of Connecticut. Derby is located in southwest Connecticut at the confluence of the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers. The area was inhabited by several Native American tribes, including the Paugassetts and the Pootatucks, for many centuries.
Settled by Europeans in the 17th century, the area prospered through agriculture, a successful foreign maritime trade, and finally manufacturing. From the first water-powered gristmill in 1681 to the opening of the Ousatonic Dam in 1870, efficient use of available power attracted a series of large manufactures to Derby. While the rivers provided power and transportation that made Derby's location the envy of its neighbors, its geographic location continues to be a favorable asset to this day.
Conveniently located in the center of a triangle bordered by New Haven on the east, Bridgeport to the south and Waterbury to the north, Derby is the hub of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the state, yet maintains its suburban charm amidst the extensive cultural and economic resources of the city.
