Timeline

This is a timeline of events in Gravity Falls. The series takes place in the summer of 2012.

Trivia

 * The film about Quentin Trembley states he was elected in 1837 as the 8½th President of the United States, but there were elections in 1836, that in it Martin Van Buren was elected eighth President, and in 1840, Trembley's alleged replacement William Henry Harrison (who had lost in 1836) defeated Van Buren's bid for re-election and became the ninth President of the United States.
 * According to Alex Hirsch on a Reddit AMA, the whole series takes place over the course of one summer.
 * Blendin Blandin comes from the year 207̃012. However, this contradicts the idea that the end of the world will occur in 3012 (according to the Mailbox). This discrepancy might be explained by the fact that the animated shorts (in which the Mailbox is depicted) may not be canonical, or that the time baby has rebuilt the world since 3012.
 * However, in the Cipher from "Weirdmageddon Part 1", it says that Time Baby's particles will take 1000 years to reform, and because the show takes place in 2012 it would mean that in 1000 years his molecules will come back together, and that matches the date that the Mailbox gave.
 * In the episode "Blendin's Game", at the very beginning, the moon in the background has a massive fissure cutting through it and debris orbiting around it. This could imply the destruction of the moon led to worldwide destruction on Earth in the year 3012.
