Gila Bend, AZ

Gila Bend (pronounced /ˌhiːlə ˈbɛnd/), founded in 1872, is a town in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. The town is named for an approximately 90 degree bend in the Gila River, which is close to but not precisely at the community's current location. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 2,055.

Gila Bend enjoys a minor notability among tourists and aficionados of roadside attractions. The town boasts several roadside sculptures and the Space Age Lodge motel and restaurant (opened in 1963), named for its "Space Age" themed architecture and decor.

The band Los Lobos wrote a song called "The Road To Gila Bend", which appears on their 2006 release The Town and the City.
