Goshen: Maple City in the Heart of Elkhart County
Goshen is the county seat of Elkhart County in northern Indiana, located along the Elkhart River about 25 miles southeast of South Bend. The city was settled in the 1830s and earned the nickname "Maple City" for its tree-lined streets.
Like neighboring Elkhart, Goshen is deeply tied to the recreational vehicle manufacturing industry. Many RV component suppliers and smaller manufacturers operate within the city limits. The economy is also supported by Goshen College, a Mennonite-affiliated institution founded in 1903 that enrolls roughly 800 students.
Goshen's population of approximately 33,000 includes a significant Amish and Mennonite community in the surrounding countryside. The Millrace Trail system follows the old millrace canal through downtown and into surrounding parks. The city's downtown has been revitalized with local restaurants, shops, and a growing arts scene.
The Goshen Theater, an Art Deco movie palace built in 1930, has been restored and now serves as a performing arts venue. Old Bag Factory, a converted industrial building, houses artisan workshops, galleries, and a restaurant in what was once a bag manufacturing plant.
The Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds in Goshen host the annual county fair and other events throughout the year. The fairgrounds reflect the agricultural heritage that still underpins much of Elkhart County's rural areas, even as manufacturing has become the dominant economic force.
