Between May 31 - June 1, 1937, the former Gondola Point schoolhouse was destroyed by a fire, which started around 11 p.m. on the night of May 31. At the time of the fire, the schoolhouse had been unused for multiple years. The origin of the fire was unknown. On January 1, 1998, the village of Gondola Point, the town of
Quispamsis, as well as a portion of the community of
Wells merged to form an expanded version of Quispamsis. The former mayor of Gondola Point at the time, Leslie Hamilton-Brown, was named the mayor of the expanded town of Quispamsis. ==Notable people==
