history

From pre-Christian times, the area - like the entire region - was ruled by various Buddhist and Hindu rulers. The first civilization was the Indus culture . It was embroiled in military clashes with Muslim conquerors and rulers in northern India for centuries. At the end of the 16th century it came under the rule of the Mughals . The Marathas had been attacking Muslim rule since the beginning of the 18th century . In 1753 the area became part of the Hindu Marathon Empire . In 1755 it became part of the Baroda State under the name Navsari Prant . It shared the history of the Baroda State under British rule and thus belonged to the British administrative region of Bombay Presidency . With India's independence in 1947 and the reorganization of the country, it became part of the new state of Bombay in 1949 . In 1960 this Indian state was divided and the area came to the newly created state of Gujarat. The area of ​​the district as it is today was created on October 2, 1997. For this purpose, parts of the previous Valsad district were spun off and merged to form the new Navsari district.
