After opening as Proctor's Tavern on Foothill Blvd. in 1922 the restaurant moved to Huntington Drive in 1931. In the 1930's it got new owners and a new name, The Derby. It has changed hands several times since then but kept the Derby name. In 2011 Arcadia city officials together with the Arcadia Historical Society installed a "History Lives Here" marker, at the site.

At least a couple of people think that the ghost of George "Iceman" Woolf a former owner and famed jockey may still be lurking around the place. There seem to be a lot of ghost stories along the Main Street of America.
