  Derby is the central city of Derbyshire in England, with a population of about 250,000 people. Derby is considered the birthplace of the industrial revolution in the world. In 1717, the first steam-powered production was opened here - the silk factory Lombay. With the arrival of the railway in the city, the city became also the center of the country's heavy industry. And today, Derby remains an important industrial center: there are facilities for the production of aircraft engines Rolls-Royce, the production of railway locomotives, the headquarters of Toyota Manufacturing. The name of the city probably comes from the Anglo-Saxon word-combination Deoraby, which means "Deer Village".
