GRAHAM PECK Our Hall of Famer of the Week, Graham Peck, was born in Derby and is buried in the Oak Cliff Cemetery. However, he made a name for himself as a distinguished author, artist and war correspondent who reported events in China (1937-1946) during a tumultuous period of war and revolution.

Some older stories: The City of Derby has developed an official and informative City of Derby website which will be paid for and maintained by the City. You can visit the site at http://www.derbyct.gov/. This current website was developed back in 1995 as part of the Electronic Valley project which helped launch the Internet age for almost all of the Valley towns. Derby becomes the last of the Valley communities to launch sites operated by the city governments. You can read more about that history here. |
