Town of Gila Bend

Town of Gila Bend We're a close-knit community of ~2000 residents situated at the western edge of the Sonoran Desert.

Named for the big bend in the Gila River, Gila Bend figures prominently in the early history of the southwest. Located on an historic route of travel, for centuries Gila Bend has has been a place for weary travelers to stop and rest. The small town of approximately 1,900 people is in the southwestern portion of Maricopa County, 70 miles southwest of Phoenix. Today, Gila Bend, a small rural communi

ty, continues to be a transportation hub and a community that looks to the future. It is home to the Gatlin Site, a National Historic Landmark, the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, and a gateway to the Sonoran Desert National Monument.
