Goes is a municipality and a city in the southwestern Netherlands in Zuid-Beveland, in the province Zeeland. The city of Goes consists of approximately 27,000 civilians.
Goes was founded in the 10th century at the border of a river: de Korte Gos. The village grew fast and in the early 12th century there was a market square and a church devoted to Maria. In 1405 Goes received city rights, and in 1417 it was allowed to build walls around the city. The prosperity of the city is based up on cloth industry and the production of salt. In the 16th century Goes declined. The connection with the sea got bogged down and in 1544 a big fire destroyed a part of the city.
Goes didn't grow until the 1970s and 1980s. The city grew fast because of new districts like Goese Meer, Oostmolenpark, Overzuid and Ouverture. Goes is now the fourth economic centre in Zeeland.
New districts are in preparation like Goese Schans, Mannee and Aria, where eventually 3,000 new houses will be available.
