From Wikipedia:
Goshen is a city located in Elkhart County, Indiana, United States. It is the smaller of the two principal cities of the Elkhart-Goshen Metropolitan Statistical Area, which in turn is part of the South Bend-Elkhart-Mishawaka Combined Statistical Area. It is the county seat of Elkhart County and located in the northern Indiana near the Michigan border, in a region known as Michiana. Goshen is located 10 miles south of Elkhart, 25 miles southeast of South Bend, 120 miles east of Chicago, and 150 miles north of Indianapolis. According to the 2010 census, Goshen's population is 31,719.[3] The city is known as a center of manufacturing for recreational vehicles and accessories, the home of Goshen College, a nationally recognized liberal arts college, and home to the Elkhart County 4-H Fair, the second largest county fair in the United States.[4]
The community also has a large Amish population, adding to the deep religious heritage of the area.
Biblically, Goshen is the fertile and rich land in which the Israelites settled in Egypt. It provided relief for them during the famine during the time of Joseph, and later was spared during the plagues of the Exodus.
Bible verse: Exodus 8:22
