History
The civil engineer Cornelius Vermuyden from The Netherlands diverted the River Don northward to the Ouse in 1627 to drain the marshland of Hatfield Chase at the behest of King Charles I. This also made the lower Don navigable for small barges so that coal from the southern Yorkshire coalfield was transported to "Gool" at the new mouth of the Don (or "Dutch River") for transfer to seagoing vessels. Sir Cornelius Vermuyden (born Tholen, Netherlands, 1595; died London, c. ...

The Aire and Calder Navigation Company opened their broad canal from Knottingley in the northern sector of the coalfield in 1826 together with two transhipment docks at Goole and a company-built town. This gave rise to several innovations in materials handling by the chief engineer, William Bartholomew. In 1863 he introduced the Tom Pudding system of compartment boats which could each carry around 40 tons of coal[2]. In the docks Bartholomew introduced large boat hoists which could lift the Puddings and discharge directly into sea going ships which exported the coal to all parts of the world. These managed to compete with rail and were used until 1985. The Aire and Calder Navigation is a river and canal system of the River Aire and the River Calder in the county of West Yorkshire, England. ...

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway built a line from Pontefract and Wakefield in 1848 and the North Eastern Railway connected with Doncaster and Hull in 1870. The prosperity from the coal and general cargo trade with the West Riding industrial area continued for 150 years after the opening of the canal. After a period of decline, these commodities were more than replaced by containers, the export of steel and the import of timber from north-eastern Europe. The two original 1826 docks, along with all six others built later, are still in full operation. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) was a major British railway company before the 1923 Grouping, although in 1922 it had already entered into a working agreement with the London and North Western Railway. ...

Governance Prior to the 1974 local government reform it was an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It was then in the Boothferry district of Humberside until that was abolished in 1996.

Future plans In March 2006, the go-ahead was given by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council for a new £237.5 million Centreport development, although there was significant opposition from local residents. This will surround the Guardian Glass factory, at Junction 36 of the M62, to the west of the town. A new Tesco Distribution Centre has recently opened on this land bringing thousands of jobs to the Goole District.
