The Arizona Eastern Railway requested right-of-way donations in 1902 in order to create a rail connection between Phoenix and Florence. A rail siding was built on William "Bobby" Gilbert's land. Gilbert became the name of the siding and the community that sprang up around it. Gilbert was a thriving farming hamlet, propelled by the completion of the Roosevelt Dam and the Eastern and Consolidated Canals in 1911. It remained an agricultural town for many years, and was regarded as the "Hay Capital of the World" until the late 1920s. Gilbert began to take on its modern form in the 1970s, when the Town Council accepted a strip annexation of 53 square miles of county territory. Although the population was only 1,971 in 1970, the Council recognized that Gilbert, like the adjacent cities of Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler, would eventually grow and flourish. This proved to be a foresighted decision, as Gilbert positioned itself for expansion in the 1980s and beyond.
