Derby is one of, if not the fastest, growing communities in Vermont. In a few short decades Derby has transformed itself from a farming community to the shopping center of Orleans County. While other communities flounder, Derby continues to succeed and move forward.

 

 

Derby was home to  many mills during the 18-hundreds and early 19-hundreds including along the Clyde River as it passes through the village as seen in this photo. This photo was taken on the South end of Main Street.

Kelly's Cabins was located in Derby, only yards from the Village of Derby Line. 

 

 

 

 

 

The village of Derby Line, which is located in the town of Derby, was once a bustling community. That is no longer the case.
