Gilbert is a town located in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. Gilbert was the
fastest-growing
incorporated place of over 100,000 people in the US from 1990 to 2000, as well
as in the 2002, 2003,
and 2004 Census estimates. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total
population of 109,697, but as of
July, 2004, a Census estimate put the fast-growing suburb's population at just
over 156,000, a growth of
more than 46,000 people or 42% over the four-year period. In April 2005, the

have a population of 165,685. Although it is large and growing rapidly, Gilbert
is still incorporated as a
town rather than as a city; it has the highest population of any area

of the 2000 census
was the only town with more than 100,000 people.
