el paso?[edit]

Someone just added that derby was once called el paso... is this true? Can it be verified? A quick google search says there is an el paso elementary school there, so I would believe it. I didn't remove it for that reason. ----Steve 14:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It use to be called El Paso way back in the day, when the train system use to be really important. The trains ran from El Paso Texas and eventually Derby changed its name because of the confusion between the two El Pasos, at least thats what I heard when I was in elementary school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.111.64.150 (talk) 15:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
