We are surrounded by a wealth of history here in the great city of Gilbert, so there is no better way to appreciate our homeland than to learn what made it what it is today. I # ve lived in Gilbert my whole life, and visiting the Gilbert Historical Museum is like looking at a little piece of Arizona history with a magnifying glass and spending a day learning about it. If you are new to the area, it can be a fun trip there, especially if you are like me. Living outside the United States, I was taught the history of our nation from a young age.

The museum is brimming with artifacts and exhibits from a rich Gilbert history and is located in the original Gilbert Elementary School, which dates back to 1913. The Arizona Railway Museum was founded in the early 1980s and its history is based on Arizona's railroad history and present. When the depot was built, it was later called the Gilbert Depot, but the historical name was established when it was rebuilt and reopened as the only Gilbert building registered in the National Register of Historic Places.

The Phoenix-Ostbahn was relocated in 1903 and the depot was built in 1905 after the acquisition of the land. The line was later renamed Arizona Eastern Railway and later changed its name to Southern Pacific Railway. Unfortunately, the railway depot, which was originally built on the site of the old Gilbert Primary School in the early 20th century, was demolished in 1969.

Gilbert became a first-class farming community and the continuous flow of water into the area was ensured by the construction of the Phoenix Eastern Railway and the Arizona Eastern Railway in the early 20th century.

With many artefacts on display, you can truly experience the great past and appreciate the forward-looking thinking of Gilbert Council.

The Gilbert Bennett History section of Georgetown contains information gathered from a variety of sources and provides a detailed overview of the history of the Gilbert Council and its role in Georgetown.

One of the interesting things about the diary is that it not only records what Gilbert did during his time as a recruit, but also creates something of a picture of civilian life. The history of Powellhurst and the Gilbert area is, at best, a snapshot of what has happened over the last 100 years, and reflects the lives of people who lived within the confines of our current neighborhood. In 1838, the British New Zealand Company began to buy land from Maori tribes and sell it to settlers, and after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many of them began to start a new life in New York City and other parts of New England. Some of these people who settled in Powellhill and Gilbert's area were farmers who came here because they lacked land and jobs.

The history of this beautiful house began in 1885 when Gilbert built a modest two-bedroom cottage as a weekend home in Astoria. He bought the land from his father-in-law and built the house, long known as Hurlbutt's Place, which is a few blocks from the Gilbert family's current home. The Gilberts bought the house, originally built for a silent movie star, in 1961 and Arthur intended to decorate it with sixteenth-century furniture. Soon after, the Gilbertts wanted to build their own house, so they bought it.

In the 1880s, there were three houses on the property, one of which still stands today. The most prominent was the home of Arthur's father-in-law, Lend Leaning Gilbert, and his wife Elizabeth.

Arthur was born Arthur Bernstein and took over the tailoring business the couple had started, and Arthur and Rosalinde met in London in the 1930s and married in 1934. Sir Arthur Gilbert remarried in 1997 and continues to collect enthusiastically. The surname Gilbert was first found in England, where it was established shortly after the conquest as Gilbert of Sempringham. The rich Norman knight and theologian, who was the first Englishman to live in a monastery, was canonized in 1202.
