Goshen
Goshen was just north of what is now the junction of Farm roads 3179 and
1791, about twelve miles southwest of Huntsville in southwestern Walker
County. It developed around the Farris Chapel Methodist Church, which
was established by Hezekiah Faris (Farris). The community was named for
Goshen, Tennessee, from which many of its early settlers had moved.
Goshen had a post office from 1854 to 1866. Another post office, called
Hutcheson, operated there from 1895 to 1916. By 1904 the community had
about 100 residents, but its population had dropped to twenty-five by
1914, when it had a general store and a sawmill. In 1936 the area called
Goshen had scattered farm dwellings, a business, a school, and a
church. The 1983 county highway map identified the Goshen community but
did not show any structures at the site. TSHA
