 | | The town website says: "Gila (pronounced "hee-la") Bend, named for the sharp bend in the Gila River. |
 | | "Painted Rock Petroglyph Site, approximately 90 miles southwest of Phoenix, Arizona, and just west of Gila Bend, provides visitors the opportunity to view an ancient archaeological site containing hundreds of symbolic and artistic rock etchings, or "petroglyphs," produced centuries ago by prehistoric people. |
