Historical information

Derby is located on King Sound and was founded in 1883. The first wharf was built in 1885 and upgraded in the 1890s to serve the region's early pastoralists. A horse-drawn tramway crossed the marshes, connecting the wharf to the town and transporting goods as well as passengers. Derby has the highest tides in Australia.
