The Village of Gilberts was platted in 1855 and incorporated in 1890. The village grew slowly until the proximity of Interstate 90 and the growth of nearby Elgin brought increased development. By 1930, Illinois Route 72 was completed and became the village's first paved road. Gilberts did not have electricity until the Rural Electrification Administration brought it as a part of the New Deal. More recently, Gilberts is located in Kane County and governed by a Village President and Board of Trustees form of government. The Village's policies are set by the Village Board and administered by the Village President.
