History

The city is named for Goose Creek, which passes 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west of the city limits and flows northwest 4 miles (6 km) to its mouth at the Ohio River. The creek itself may have been named for wild geese observed in the area by early settlers, or for William Goose, a wagon maker who settled in the area in the late 18th century. The area was also known as “Florida Heights” by 1881 and continued under this name as late as 1912.

A local post office was established in 1892 and closed in 1902. The city was incorporated in 1969.
