Last time a NH town split off was in 1962 when Sugar Hill left Lisbon.

In about 1991, a Laconia state rep sponsored a bill where the Weirs would split off from Laconia, and become a separate town. The bill did not pass the house.

Looking at a map, it sure seems like Governor's Island, is geographically closer to Laconia than to Gilford, or at least the border should go through the middle of Governor's Island, with about one half going to both towns. Laconia sure missed the boat on Governor's Island. How did that happen?

If Laconia were smart, it would invade Governor's Island in the middle of the night and steal it back!
