In the past, the aul was quite populated and had a very developed infrastructure: in the last century there were shops, a small hospital and a maternity ward in the village. It was not difficult to get to the village - a road quite suitable for the movement of cars and other transport led to the mountain village.

About four decades ago, the inhabitants of the village of Gamsutl began to gradually leave the village, going to larger and less inaccessible settlements. Subsequently, the village was deserted, in 2015 its last inhabitant died.

According to scientists, the approximate age of the village is 2 thousand years.
