The title perhaps refers to Darlington, a market town in County Durham, England. The town's name has had several variants over they years, including Dearthington, Derlinton, and, in Norman times, Derlinton. The town was generally known by the name of ‘Darnton’, or somewhat less politely as ‘Darnton i’ the Dirt’, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries due to the town’s notoriously muddy, unpaved streets, said to have inspired King James of Scotland and England to write the following uncomplimentary verse, during a visit of 1603:
Darnton has a bonny, bonny church
With a broach upon the steeple
But Darnton is a mucky, mucky town
And mair sham on the people.
