From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gerar
      a region; lodging-place, a very ancient town and district in the
      south border of Palestine, which was ruled over by a king named
      Abimelech (Gen. 10:19; 20:1, 2). Abraham sojourned here, and
      perhaps Isaac was born in this place. Both of these patriarchs
      were guilty of the sin of here denying their wives, and both of
      them entered into a treaty with the king before they departed to
      Beersheba (21:23-34; 26). It seems to have been a rich pastoral
      country (2 Chr. 14:12-18). Isaac here reaped an hundred-fold,
      and was blessed of God (Gen. 26:12). The "valley of Gerar" (Gen.
      26:17) was probably the modern Wady el-Jerdr.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Gerar, same as Gera
