Anecdote
In its Vieux-Pays the commune has the church of Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul, most of which dates from 1550 to 1564, in the Renaissance style, financed by the lord Antoine de Nicolaï, first president of the Cour des comptes. After Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport opened, the village lost its population because of noise, and about 144 houses were bought by Aéroports de Paris. The last Mass was held in 1997, and the church, a listed historic monument since 1914, was restored from 2010 to 2013. Goussainville is first mentioned in 832.
