What did Moses do in the city of Goshen?

The land of Goshen is identified as the area inhabited by the Israelites in Egypt (for example Exodus 8:22 and 9:26), and was not portrayed as a city. Goshen has never been localised with certainty but most scholars assume that it was in the eastern Nile Delta. However, the word Goshen does not occur in any Egyptian texts and efforts to derive it from the Egyptian language are unconvincing. It is likely that the biblical word 'Goshen' came from outside Egypt. There is no particular biblical event that involves Moses in Goshen.
