I'm assuming that the complete question is: In view of the fact that only the Israelites lived in the region of Goshen,how was it posssible for them to live right next to the Egyptians so that there was a need to mark their houses for the Passover?
The answer is that in Goshen there were many Israelites, but there may also have been some Egyptians. And some of the Israelites lived outside of Goshen among the Egyptians, as is implicit in Exodus 1:7.

What event in Hebrew history does Passover celebrate?
The Hebrew people sprayed blood on the door of their houses in Egypt, and the angel passed by these houses. and the first born escaped. But the egyptians did not have it on their doors so their first born was slain.
Why is the festival that Jews celebrate called passover?
There are two reasons, one didactic and one a pun: First, on the first Passover, the book of Exodus says that God "passed over" the houses of the Israelites that were daubed with the blood of the first Passover sacrifice, entering all other houses and killing the firstborn -- this was the final of the ten plagues that God brought upon Pharoh and the Egyptians for not letting the Israelites go.The second reason, the pun, is that, entirely by coincidence, the name Passover is very similar to Pesach, the Hebrew name of the festival. In other European languages, this pun doesn't work, so Passover are known by names that are simply transliterations (sometimes ugly, sometimes accurate) of Pesach. To add to the confusion, in some languages, Passover and Easter are known by the same name.

How did the holiday Passover get its name?
When the Pharaoh refused to let the Lords people leave Egypt he placed upon the Egyptians ten plagues. The last being that all of their firstborn would die. The Israelite people were told to sprinkle the blood of a sacrificed animal on their door frames and lintel. When G-d would come to smite the Egyptian firstborns, he would see the blood on the doorpost and skip over that house. That's why it is called passover. That is the same idea of the Hebrew name, Pesach, which means door.
