Goshen Valley was discovered in 1858 when some men were rounding up stray cattle. The men were impressed by its large meadow and accompanying creek.  By the next spring, in 1857, the first ten families came to Goshen; by the end of the summer, there were twenty-five families. These early settlers lived in shelters inside of a fort to protect themselves. Today, Goshen has remained a smaller town with under one thousand residents.<br>

As early Latter-day Saint pioneers came to the Goshen Valley, they settled in area then known as Sandtown, The Bend, and the Fort. Pioneers later relocated their farms, homes and their cemetery to higher solid ground believed to be more fertile. Several of those buried in the original cemetery were interred in the New Goshen Cemetery located south of the newly established town. No record exists of those whose remains were moved. After 1880 no new burials were made in this cemetery. The original Goshen Pioneer Cemetery is located 300 yards north of this monument.
