Goshen, Vermont

Located in Addison County, Goshen was granted by the Vermont legislature in 1782 as what is known as a "flying" grant, which at its most basic means one without any boundaries. The boundaries of Goshen were finally established in 1798, although they underwent some tweaking later on.

The origins of the name Goshen are thought to either be Goshen, Connecticut, or the biblical Goshen, the area in Egypt where Moses and company spent 400 years before heading off for the promised land.

Mountainous and wooded, much of Goshen lies within the Green Mountain National Forest.
