Derby is a great city to visit while in Kansas, in the United States of America. Part of the Sedgwick County, Derby was previously known as El Paso and is a suburb of Wichita. The name of Derby was given to the city in 1880 but the legal papers were filled just in 1957. This was a measure taken to avoid the confusion of the former El Paso from Kansas with El Paso, Texas. The area on which Derby is located has about 7 square miles and the population is of approximately 20.000 people. In the recent years, Family Circle places Derby in the top of the best cities for families across the Unites States of America.
