History

The history of Goldsboro dates back to 1867 and the completion of the D&C Railroad. At that time, the town had a population of just nine people and was named Old Town. In 1870, the name was changed to Goldsborough because the village wanted a more modern name and the land surrounding the village was owned by Dr. G.W. Goldsborough. Years later the spelling was updated to Goldsboro. Today, the town of Goldsboro has a population of 228 residents. There is a Mayor and Two Commissioners, a Planning Commission, and a Board of Appeals. Businesses in the town include a medical center, a stone and gravel business, a beauty salon, and a Christian store. It is a quaint town with a lot of charm and a very supportive, active community. The town is very business-friendly and is actively seeking additional businesses.
