History of Mumbai

By -
Mumbai is built on what was once an archipelago of seven islands: Isle of Bombay, Parel, Mazagaon, Mahim, Colaba, Worli, and Old Woman's Island (also known as Little Colaba).[56] It is not exactly known when these islands were first inhabited. Pleistocenesediments found along the coastal areas around Kandivali in northern Mumbai suggest that the islands were inhabited since the South Asian Stone Age. Perhaps at the beginning of the Common Era, or possibly earlier, they came to be occupied by the Koli fishing community.

In the third century BCE, the islands formed part of the Maurya Empire, during its expansion in the south, ruled by the Buddhist emperor Ashoka of Magadha.[60] The Kanheri Caves in Borivali were excavated in the mid-third century BCE,and served as an important centre of Buddhism in Western India during ancient Times.The city then was known as Heptanesia (Ancient Greek: A Cluster of Seven Islands) to the Greek geographer Ptolemy in 150 CE.The Mahakali Caves in Andheri were built between the 1st century BCE and the 6th century CE.
