The history of Gozo is strongly coupled with the history of Malta, since Gozo has been governed by Malta throughout history, with the brief exception of a short period of autonomy following the uprising against the French forces after Napoleon's conquest of Malta, between 28 October 1798 and 20 August 1801.
Historie Goza je velmi silně spojena s historií Malty, protože Gozo bylo podřízeno Maltě prakticky stále, pouze s krátkou výjimkou existence nezávilého státu Gozo mezi 28. říjnem 1798 a 20. srpnem 1801.
