Goshen is a rural locality in the local government area of Break O'Day in the North-east region of Tasmania. It is located about north-west of the town of St Helens. The 2016 census determined a population of 93 for the state suburb of Goshen.[1]
The name is a Biblical reference to fertile land. Goshen was gazetted as a locality in 1964.[2]
