**Derb Sultan** (Arabic: درب السلطان) is one of the largest and oldest [neighborhoods](/source/Neighbourhood) in [Casablanca](/source/Casablanca). It is part of the prefecture of district [Al Fida-Mers Sultan](/source/Al_Fida_%E2%80%93_Mers_Sultan). It is known for being one of the cradles of colonial resistance against the [French protectorate](/source/French_protectorate_in_Morocco) in [Morocco](/source/Morocco). During the 1930s and 1940s, Derb Sultan knew a vast wave of migration coming from other Moroccan regions, especially the regions of [Souss](/source/Sous) and [Draa](/source/Draa_River) in the south.[1]

This district is known to be the place where [Moroccan](/source/Moroccan_Arabic) unions were founded, on March 20 1949 in the small café of Ba'saleh, one of the most famous Arab and African clubs, the [Raja Club Athletic](/source/Raja_CA).[2]
