Gibson was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts  He was enrolled by his parents in the Art Students League, Manhattan.  Peddling his pen-and-ink sketches, he sold his first work in 1886 to John Ames Mitchell's Life. His works appeared weekly in the magazine for over 30 years. He quickly built a wider reputation, his humorous works appearing in all the major New York publications, Harper's Weekly, Scribners and Collier's. The development of the Gibson Girl from 1890 and her nationwide fame made Gibson respected and wealthy.

In 1895, he married Irene Langhorne, born in Danville, Virginia, a sister of Nancy Astor, the first woman to serve in as a Member of Parliament in the British House of Commons. The elegant Langhorne sisters, born to a once-wealthy Virginia family devastated by the Civil War, served as the inspiration for the famous Gibson Girls.  He retired in 1936. On his death in 1944, Charles Dana Gibson was interred at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
