From Wikipedia:
In 1858, the Butterfield Overland Mail passed through the area stopping at Head of Cross Creek Station, 4 miles northwest of Goshen, at the head of the place where Cross Creek divided into two branches for a time, making it easier to cross them separately. It was 12 miles west of the next stop at Visalia, and 15 miles southeast of the next stop in the other direction, Whitmore's Ferry.
In the early 1890s, Chris Evans and John Sontag robbed a Southern Pacific Railroad train at Goshen.
