About Us: Welcome to Gilbert
Our Journey
Founded in 2017, Gilbert is a news website dedicated to delivering insightful and accurate information about the vibrant city of Gilbert, Arizona, and its surrounding communities. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to bridge the information gap that often exists between residents, businesses, and local government entities. We recognized the need for a reliable source that provides up-to-date news, features, and resources specifically tailored to Gilbert's unique character.
Mission and Values
At Gilbert, we strive to be the go-to online destination for everything related to our beloved city. Our mission is to empower residents, foster community engagement, and promote transparency by providing unbiased, in-depth reporting.

Filling the Information Void
The internet, while a vast resource, often falls short when it comes to hyper-local news. We identified a critical need for a platform that goes beyond national headlines and provides a deeper dive into the daily life, challenges, and triumphs of Gilbert residents. Our goal is to share both the official updates from local government and the personal stories that make this community truly special.
