It was founded in 1826 when the canal was opened as a transhipment point between the canal system and the river, navigable by sea-going vessels, and established a trade built largely on the export of [[coal]]. The Yorkshire engineer George Leather designed both the dock installations at Goole and the original planned company town, of which Aire Street is the sole substantial remaining part. The town centre is now located on and around Boothferry Road. Inhabitants are known as Goolies.
