Gondalpara is a neighbourhood in Chandernagore of Hooghly district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a part of the area covered by Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA).
==History== The town was a Danish possession, also known as Danmarksnagore in 1698–1714 as part of Danish India, governed from Tranquebar. Dannemarksnagore was besieged in 1707, raided in 1713, and besieged again in 1714, leading to an evacuation of the place altogether.
