The Dhansiri, one of the tributaries of the Brahmaputra, passes through Golaghat, and is the primary water source for its citizens.One of the earliest tea urban centres in Assam that has been the headquarters of the oldest subdivision for over 182–183 years since 1839, the local government body, Golaghat Municipal Board (GMB), was set up in 1920, becoming a long-established civic body of the state, formed before independent India. It is a historical body of 101–102 years of age in continuous operation dating as far back as the early 1920s. Golaghat has the inceptive post/mail service and telegraphic communication systems in Assam going back to 1876.
