History


In 1853, there was stagecoach stop at what is now Goshen, on the stage line that led from Oregon City to the gold country in Jacksonville.[3] The Goshen area was settled in the 1870s.[4] Goshen post office was established in September 1874, with John Handsaker as first postmaster.[5] In the Bible, Goshen was the pastoral land in lower Egypt occupied by the Israelites before the Exodus.[5] An author for the Lane County Historian wrote that Goshen was named by John Jacob Hampton,[6] although Oregon: End of the Trail says that it was named by Elijah Bristow. Bristow saw the area as a "land of promise."[7] The post office was discontinued in 1957, when it became an Independent Rural Station of Eugene.[8][9]


In 1884, Goshen was a station on the Oregon and California Railroad (later the Siskiyou Line of the Southern Pacific, and today the Central Oregon and Pacific), and the town had a store, blacksmith shop, and a school.[10][11]


In 1940 Goshen had a population of 93.[7]


The Methodist Episcopal Church of Goshen was built in 1910; as of 1990 it was a private residence.[4][12] It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Andrew J. Keeney House, built circa 1870, is also in the Goshen area.[13]



Economy


Goshen is the site of a Cone Lumber Company sawmill.[14] At one time the community had a tavern, a truckstop, and a café.[3] The truckstop and café were torn down in 1999 and replaced with a Pacific Pride commercial filling station.[15]



Education


Goshen School, which had served grades K–8 as part of Springfield Public Schools, was closed in June 2011. It now houses Willamette Leadership Academy, a charter school serving students in grades 6–12.
