History:
The Arizona Eastern Railway wanted to establish a rail line between Phoenix and Florence. The railroad began asking for donations of right away to create the line. William M. Gilbert was an early new homesteader, who came to the area in 1904. He offered his land for the railway. A rail siding was established on his property.
A rail siding is an additional section of rail line attached to the rail line. The rail siding allows trains to be pulled off the track for maintenance or to load the cars without blocking the track. This rail siding proved to be beneficial for Gilbert. He did not have to travel far to sell his crops. Soon, a town developed and was eventually named after William Gilbert.
Gilbert grew due in most part to the creation of the Roosevelt Dam. The dam helped regulate the water for farming. In 1911, the development of the Eastern and Consolidated Canals also boosted Gilbert's growth. Gilbert was known for its' farming and acquired the nickname the "Hay Capital of the World". The town was incorporated in 1920. At that time, there were 500 people farming the land.
Gilbert has a progressive town government. The Town Council made sure in the early 1970's that there would be room for growth. The council approved an annexation strip of 53 square miles. This proved to be a good decision because in the 1980's Gilbert began growing again. During this time, the town quintupled in population.
Today, you will find a family oriented town. Gilbert encourages new home businesses and has the land for development. Many of the houses sit on mini-ranch sections. Cotton, grains, alfalfa, vegetables, citrus and livestock play an important role in the town. Gilbert has not lost its ranching and farming roots.
