Defining the borders of what constitutes Gasport is not an easy task. Sure, it's a small town, but where does it begin and end?
Everyone has their own concept:
1) Is it only the hamlet itself?
2) Is it the "772" telephone district?
3) Is it the 14067 zip code?
4) Is it the Gasport portion of the Roy-Hart district when we had two elementary schools?
It is confusing. Well, to make it easy and to identify what this website focuses on, I prefer to identify with what the USGS considers Gasport in their mapping of the United States. You can see the map in the right hand tool bar where it says "A Map of Gasport".
Some people may not like the boundaries because they might have a favorite of the four factors mentioned above and the map includes points that don't jive with them. But, alas, for the sake of consistency this site will serve as the "online newspaper" for that area clearly defined in the map.
The one recurring deviation from that: articles about the high school, because, after all, it affects all Gasport families.
