It is a part of the Poughkeepsie\u2013Newburgh\u2013Middletown metro area, and is located in Orange County. The county seat is in nearby Middletown. It is home to several colleges, including the University at Albany. There are plenty of places to stay in Goshen, and you&#8217;re sure to find a great place to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is a 44 square mile village located 60 miles north of Midtown Manhattan. It is home to the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the oldest settlements in the state. Its main attraction, Legoland, has prompted two large restaurants and a new hotel. But why has Legoland brought people to Goshen? According to Goshen&#8217;s town supervisor, the town&#8217;s name is due to the nearby theme park, which opened in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is a popular destination for tourists. The city is home to more than a dozen religious institutions. The First Presbyterian Church, Orange County Fellowship, and Catholic churches are some of the more prominent denominations. The community has more than one place of worship, so you&#8217;re sure to find a place to worship that suits your needs. In addition to those places of worship, you can also explore the local arts scene. The area is surrounded by dozens of vineyards, and many people enjoy visiting the farmers&#8217; market in the late summer and fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic district is the heart of Goshen. This area is lined with gracious homes and buildings. This is a place that owes its rich past to the wealthy and prosperous citizens who once called this town home. The old Erie right-of-way, which is parallel to the highway, is a great example of the historic character of the city. Moreover, the city&#8217;s downtown is located on Hatfield Lane, a narrow street that runs along the freeway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is located 16 miles northwest of New York City. The county government center was built in 1838 and was built by the Salesians of Don Bosco. It is also the home of the Orange County Government. Currently, the city&#8217;s two schools are located within walking distance of each other. During the summer, the town has a weekly farmer&#8217;s market. The community is a thriving hub for culture, and has the oldest continuous horse track in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early eighteenth century, the town became an outpost of the Colonial Government. The first milk shipped into New York City came from Goshen in 1841. It was named after General George Washington, who had visited the town. Despite the small population, the city was considered the &#8220;Promised Land&#8221; by the Bible. It also had its share of famous outlaws. The settlers were proud of it, and they called it &#8220;Goshen&#8221; in honor of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The population of Goshen, New York, is 5,454 as of the 2010 census.
