Gilbert
How Did Gilbert Start?
The Arizona Eastern Railway solicited for contributions of right-of-way in order to build a rail route between Phoenix and Florence in the early 1900s. On the property held by William "Bobby" Gilbert, a rail siding was built to serve the area. After a while, Gilbert came to be associated with the siding and the community that sprang up around it. Because of the Roosevelt Dam and the Eastern and Consolidated Canals, which were built in 1911, Gilbert became a thriving farming community. For many years, it was known as the "Hay Capital of the World" only until the late 1920s, and it remained an agricultural town.
The Birth of Gilbert
Gilbert began as a tiny farming community with humble beginnings. William "Bobby" Gilbert, who homesteaded 160 acres of property across Gilbert on June 10, 1898, owes the town's residents their land. The Phoenix and Eastern Railroad acquired a right-of-way across his land a few years later, with the goal of building a railway that would run from Phoenix to Kearny and to all of the Gila River's mining sites.
