A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Goldenhill from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "GOLDENHILL, a chapelry in Wolstanton parish, Stafford; adjacent to Cheshire, and near the Northwestern railway, 1½ mile from Tunstall, and 6¼ NNW of Stoke-upon-Trent. It was constituted in 1844; and it has a post office under Stoke-upon-Trent. Population, 2,621. Houses: 517. The property is divided among a few. There are collieries, iron-works, and chemical works. The living is a [perpetual] curacy in the diocese of Lichfield. Value: £203. Patron: the Bishop of Lichfield. The church is a neat edifice, in the Norman style; and there is a national school."
In 1894 Goldenhill became part of Wolstanton Rural District. The district was abolished in 1904 at which point the parish of Goldenhill was absorbed into Stoke-on-Trent county borough. The borough became a unitary authority in 1974.
