Goosepond District of Oglethorpe County Georgia
Goosepond sits in a peninsula by Broad River and Long Creek. Early settlers found it fertile and level, attracting wealthier planters and large slave owners who built fine houses and hosted guests, becoming a center of wealth and culture. The district derived its name from a large winter pond alive with geese. Over time remote access and emigration diminished its prominence, though stock raising and lingering pride in past glories persist. Notable figures like Mattox and Governor Mathews are referenced in local history of Goosepond.
