After the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad line was completed, a hotel was built at the intersection of the railroad and New Bern Road. Because of the hotel, the village was made a stopping point for trains and began to establish itself as a community. This community became known as Goldsborough's Junction after Major Matthew T. Goldsborough, an Assistant Chief Engineer with the railroad line. The town of Goldsborough was incorporated in 1847. In 1856 the North Carolina Railroad connected Goldsborough to Charlotte and in 1858, the railroad was completed from Goldsborough to Beaufort, allowing connections in all four directions. By 1861 the population of Goldsborough was estimated to be 1,500 hundred people.
By the onset of the Civil War, Goldsborough was one of the most important railroad junctions in the South during the Civil War. Here the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, which ran from Morehead City to Raleigh, intersected the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, which ran from Wilmington to Richmond. These railroads were vital to both sides during the war. Supplies arriving on blockade runners at Wilmington were shipped by rail through Goldsborough to the Confederate army in Virginia, making Goldsborough an important depot. Confederate troops were stationed here during the war, to guard the city and to be available to be sent quickly by rail where needed.
Hospitals were established for the wounded coming back from the front. Some of these troops are among the 800 Confederate soldiers buried in a mass grave at Willow Dale Cemetery. When New Bern fell in March 1862, breastworks were built 18 blocks east of Goldsborough along Stoney Creek. Remains of these are found along Claiborne Street.
