Although the city of Goose Creek was established in 1961,[4] its history dates back many centuries. In early colonial times the term "Goose Creek men" was used for a group of colonists, mostly settled a few miles west of Charleston near a stream called Goose Creek. The Goose Creek men became leaders of the early Indian trade, and by the 1690s many held important offices in the colonial government. At first the Goose Creek men dealt mainly in Indian slaves, while later the deerskin trade dominated. Several colonial governors were Goose Creek men, such as James Moore.[5][6][7]
Naval Nuclear Power School, Nuclear Power Training Unit Charleston, and SPAWAR are located in Goose Creek and Hanahan on the Naval Weapons Station Charleston. Nuclear submarines and submarine tenders were based at the Naval Weapons Station (NWS) in Goose Creek until the early 1990s, at which time they were homeported at other naval bases on the Atlantic coast due to a "reduction in force" (RIF) of US military and naval bases. Large portions of the Weapons Station were closed in the early 1990s due to the RIF. Charleston Naval Shipyard (CNSYD) was also closed due to the "reduction in force", and is now largely owned by the city of North Charleston and private companies.
