Neighborhoods
Derby is a great place to raise a family and retire. Lots of great parks (Madison Central Park, Warren Riverview Park, High Park, Rock River Rapids water park, Field Station Dinosaur), good places to shop and eat, and other amenities such as a new library, senior center and recreation center (www.derbyweb.com)
Derby
The Air Capitol of the World. More aircraft have been built in Wichita than any other city in the world. Cessna, Beechcraft, Learjet, Stearman, and Spirit AeroSystems were all started here. Spirit builds the entire fuselage for the Boeing 737. You might see some of those on railcars just north of Derby to the west of Southeast Blvd. They are shipped up to Everett, WA for final assembly.
Wichita is an entrepreneurial city which hatched Pizza Hut, Coleman, White Castle, and Rent-a-Center. Freddy's Frozen Custard was started and is still headquartered in Wichita, and is the fastest-growing quick-serve franchise in the US. Other companies in town include the second largest privately-held company in the US, Koch Industries, as well as fan-maker Vornado Air and Cargill Protein.
