The ten square miles of land that is now the township of East Goshen was part of a larger tract purchased from William Penn in Wales in September 1681.

It was here in the early years that wagon wheels were re-rimmed, farm implements repaired, and horses shod.

As part of East Goshen's tricentennial in 1982, the blacksmith shop was renovated and restored.

[3] East Goshen Township owns a 55-acre (220,000 m2) park located on Paoli Pike.

There are areas in the park for sports such as baseball, softball, and soccer fields, four sand volleyball courts, six tennis courts with wind screens and hitting backboard, two full-size basketball courts with additional baskets for shooting around, a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) equipped fitness trail, a children's activity area, a putting green, and a gazebo.

Parking space has been enhanced and all facilities are planned and installed with the idea of maintaining a harmony with nature.

As of 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved application to the Chesco Municipal Grant Program for a Paoli Pike Trail.

The 2.7-mile trail would connect East High School with the “Town Center” between Boot Road and North Chester Road and then the entire network of trails in the Township Park and Applebrook Park.

Males had a median income of $74,363 versus $50,730 for females among full-time, year-round workers.

PA 3 follows West Chester Pike along an east-west alignment through the southern portion of the township.

Finally, PA 352 follows Chester Road along a northwest-southeast alignment through the center of the township.
