The District Council of Gilbert was a local government area seated at Riverton in South Australia from 1866 to 1932.
The District Council of Gilbert was proclaimed on 5 July 1866. The inaugural councillors were Frederick Fleming, James Milne, James Kelly, James Shearer, and Edward Prescott.[1]
On 12 May 1932, by promulgation of the Local Government Areas (Re-arrangement) Acts 1929 and 1931, Gilbert was amalgamated with the westerly-adjacent districts of Rhynie and Stockport to form the new District Council of Riverton.
