Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

Golan
   exile, a city of Bashan (Deut. 4:43), one of the three cities of
   refuge east of Jordan, about 12 miles north-east of the Sea of
   Galilee (Josh. 20:8). There are no further notices of it in
   Scripture. It became the head of the province of Gaulanitis, one
   of the four provinces into which Bashan was divided after the
   Babylonish captivity, and almost identical with the modern
   Jaulan, in Western Hauran, about 39 miles in length and 18 in
   breath.
