  Golan, Gaulonitis - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Golan was a city in the territory allotted to Manasseh in Bashan, the most northerly of the three cities of refuge East of the Jordan (Deuteronomy 4:43; Joshua 20:8); assigned with its "suburbs" to the Gershonite Levites (Joshua 21:27; 1 Chronicles 6:71).
The city was known to Eusebius as "a large village," giving its name to the surrounding country (Onomasticon, under the word Gaulon).
This country must have corresponded roughly with the modern Jaulan, in which the ancient name is preserved.

 NETBible : NEXT Generation :: Bethsaida - Dictionaries
The fact is that Bethsaida was a village on both sides of the Jordan as it enters the sea of Galilee on the north, so that the western part of the village was in Galilee and the eastern portion in Gaulonitis, part of the tetrarchy of Philip.
This is doubtless to be identified with the village of Bethsaida in Lower Gaulonitis which the Tetrarch Philip raised to the rank of a city, and called Julias, in honor of Julia, the daughter of Augustus.
If Gamala, far down the eastern shore of the sea, were in Galilee, a fortiori Bethsaida, a town which lay on the very edge of the Jordan, may be described as in Galilee.

Immediately south was the province of Galilee, partly bordering on the Mediterranean and bounded on the east by the province of Gaulonitis and Decapolis, the Jordan and the Sea of Galilee being the dividing line.
Vespasian was still in the north and next attacked the strong fortress of Gamala in Gaulonitis.
But after an entrance was gained into the city, the Jews fought so desperately that the Romans was repulsed with severe loss and for a time were afraid to renew the attack.

AND now Herod altered his testament upon the alteration of his mind; for he appointed Antipas, to whom he had before left the kingdom, to be tetrarch of Galilee and Perea, and granted the kingdom to Archclaus.
He also gave Gaulonitis, and Trachonitis, and Paneas to Philip, who was his son, but own brother to Archclaus (10) by the name of a tetrarchy; and bequeathed Jarnnia, and Ashdod, and Phasaelis to Salome his sister, with five hundred thousand [drachmae] of silver that was coined.
He also made provision for all the rest of his kindred, by giving them sums of money and annual revenues, and so left them all in a wealthy condition.

The exact location of Bethsaida is of some controversy, but archaeologist Rami Arav and the University of Nebraska-Omaha have concluded that the location is at et-Tel (a-Tel), east of the Jordan river in the land of Geshur.
What follows are a few links from various sources giving archaeological data favoring Bethsaida being east of the Jordan, and arguments for two Bethsaidas, but we've seen this one from Dennis McKinsey before: our answer then was that the reference by John is a geographical one, not a political one.
Bethsaida was politically in Gaulonitis, and not in the political region of Galilee, but it was in the geographic region of Galilee.

 A Commentary on the NT--Chorographical Notes
But after the return of Israel from Babylon, Bashan was so subdivided, that Batanea, or Bashan, was only a part of it, the rest going under the name of Trachonitis, Auranitis, and, if you will, Gaulonitis too; for we meet with that distinction also in Josephus.
That country that lay nearest, from those noted towns of Gaulan and Gamala, he calls Gaulonitis and Gamalitica; and that which was farther off, he calls by its own name of Batanea; and what lies still beyond that, Trachonitis.
