Goldshaw Booth was once a township in the ancient parish of Whalley. This became a civil parish in 1866, forming part of the Burnley Rural District from 1894. The township extended to cover parts of the adjoining villages of Fence and Wheatley Lane,[4] but this part transferred to Old Laund Booth in 1898. Parts of the parish also transferred to Sabden on its creation in 1904,[lower-alpha 1] and Newchurch in Pendle also used to straddle the boundary with Roughlee Booth but was brought entirely within the parish in 1935.[5]

Along with Higham-with-West Close Booth, Barley-with-Wheatley Booth and Roughlee Booth, the parish forms the Higham with Pendleside ward of Pendle Borough Council.[6]
