History of Derby

Derby was established as one of many hamlets in Simonvia. For a while, very few people lived in Derby and the community was very close which is a stark contrast to the bustling city Derby has become where the community is very distant and most issues are brought before Simon Gilson 5th due to the lack of communication throughout the council. Horse racing was a popular Simonvian sport and Derby seemed the idea place to race horse to attract people to this new village. Over the years, Derby became famous for its horse racing stadiums and the bi-monthly event, The Simonvian Grand National is held at the Simon Gilson 1st memorial stadium built on top of the original stadium built by architects working for Simon Gilson 1st.

The current ruler, Simon Gilson 5th was in fact born here because it was to far for his parents to travel back to Chapeltown. Simon Gilson 4th had been visiting the Derby council to discuss issues and the nearest hospital was Derby General which still operates today.
