The Derby in Arcadia, CA got its name because it is near a racetrack. The original owner was a jockey. Look on the internet and you will see lots of interesting information about historical
Arcadia, the racetrack, and the restaurant The Derby. The place was founded in the 1920’s when the town of Arcadia was known for chicken farming. Now, Arcadia is filled to the brim with restaurants, hotels, offices, and hotels, yet sitting in THe Derby a few weeks ago, I can imagine old Arcadia, old Southern California with ranches, racetracks, 24 hour entertainment, and an old west feel.
