Derby

Latitude 17 18 S Longitude 123 38 E

The townsite of Derby, located on King Sound north of the mouth of the Fitzroy River in the Kimberley district was gazetted in 1883. It is named after Edward Henry Stanley, Lord Derby (1826-1893), Secretary of State for Colonies 1882-1885. The town was established to service the growing Kimberley cattle industry, and grew rapidly following the discovery of gold in the Kimberley in 1885.
