-------------------------------
Goose Green is a settlement on East Falkland in the Falkland Islands. It lies on Choisel Sound, on the east side of the island's central isthmus, 4 km south of Darwin.
The settlement grew after it became the base for the Falkland Islands Company's sheep farm in Lafonia in 1922. It is now part of the Falkland Landholdings Corporation, a government managed company.
Goose Green was occupied by Argentine forces during the Falklands War. Over one hundred islanders were imprisoned in the community hall, while over 1,000 Argentine troops occupied the settlement and nearby Darwin. It was the subject of the first land battle of that conflict (see Battle of Goose Green), as it was relatively close to the site of the British landings, San Carlos, and the British leaders were looking for an early victory, even if the site was not necessarily of military importance. The area is still heavily mined.
Goose Green is home to a shop, while other attractions include the nearby Bodie Suspension Bridge and the Vicar of Bray shipwreck, which participated in the California gold rush.
