Information About Local Schools

Derby is affectionately known as Connecticut’s smallest city. Sitting between the Naugatuck and Housatonic Rivers, Derby has its roots in manufacturing, but today is a charming suburban enclave with easy highway access to Waterbury, New Haven and Bridgeport. The real estate market is steady with a modest number of available single family homes and condominiums.

Throughout the town’s history the rivers have provided a ready source of both power and transportation. From the first water-powered gristmill in 1681 to the opening of the Housatonic Dam in 1870, large manufacturers have found Derby an ideal location to do business. Today, Route 8 provides easy access to major interstate highways 84 and 95.

The downtown area is a quaint exhibit of small vintage buildings. At the north end of town is the Osborne State Park, which contains the Kellogg Environmental Center and the Osborne Homestead Museum. The Kellogg Center features a network of nature trails, interactive exhibits and educational workshops. The Osborne mansion is an 1850 Colonial Revival house furnished with the home’s original art and antiques.

Students attend school in nearby Ansonia and Beacon Falls. Housing is mostly single-family homes in peaceful, rural settings. Derby is an excellent choice for comfortable family living within easy reach of major business centers.
