Village of Gilberts history
Village of Gilberts company history timeline
Incorporated in 1890 as Gilberts, the village grew slowly until the proximity of Interstate 90 and the growth of nearby Elgin brought increased development.
In the mid summer of 1926, a large fire was started when railroad sparks ignited weeds near John Jurs' blacksmith shop, burning it to the ground.
By 1930, Route 72 was completed and became the village's first paved road.
In 1956, the construction of the Chicago-Northwest Tollway started a renewal in the town.
In 1958, the fire department started its present form, consisting of two stations, one of which is located in downtown Gilberts.
In the mid 1960's, a light industrial manufacturing area was established off of Route 72 and the core of the village was enhanced by four new subdivisions including Windmill Meadows, Dunhill Estates, Gilberts Glen, and Indian Trails.
By the 1970's, the first industrial park was constructed along the southeast subdivisions and as growth continued, a second and eventually third industrial park was established.
In 1979, the Gilberts unit of the fire department, which was housed in a large multiuse building and contained three trucks, was finally completed.
