as the "Hay Capital of the World,"
Gilbert was at one time a small rural
community and agricultural center.

since the 1980s – yes, 1980s...
Gilbert, the fastest-growing community in the
US during the 1990s, not only has close access
to Phoenix, but to more than 25 golf courses and
the fifth-largest national forest in the US.
