Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

גּוֹלָן (“exile”), [Golan], pr.n of a city of Bashan, afterwards in the tribe of Manasseh; a city of refuge, allotted to the Levites, Deuteronomy 4:43; Joshua 20:8, 21:27 (where there is גָּלוֹן כתיב); 1 Chronicles 6:56. Josephus mentions both the city (calling it Γαυλάνη, Bell. Jud. i. 4, § 4, ) and the adjoining region, Γαυλανῖτις, Archæol. viii. 2, § 3, 13, § 4, etc., which he places by the spring of Jordan and the sea of Galilee; elsewhere he comprehends it under the name of Batanea [Bashan]. This region is now called Jaulân.
