Gilbert is a town (not a city) located in Maricopa County, in the U.S. state of Arizona. It is the largest incorporated town in the United States, at least by population, which sits at over 239,200 total residents. Gilbert is one of the fastest-growing areas in Arizona; first founded as a railroad stop in 1902, it saw little growth even after its incorporation in 1920. Little growth, that is, until the Phoenix area exploded in popularity. In 1980, the population of Gilbert sat at just 5,500; by 2000, just 20 years later, it was home to over 109,000 residents, and 208,000 in 2010. The town has fast become one of the most popular areas in Arizona to move to, and car shipping to Gilbert has never been easier to find today.
