Raigad is a district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is located in the Konkan region. The district was renamed after Raigad, the fort and former capital of the Maratha leader Shivaji, which is located in the interior forests of the district, on a west-facing spur of the Western Ghats or Sahyadri range.

The district is bounded by Mumbai Harbour to the northwest, Thane District to the north, Pune District to the east, Ratnagiri District to the south, and the Arabian Sea to the west. It includes the large natural harbor of Pen-Mandwa, which is immediately south of Mumbai Harbour, and forming a single landform with it. Part of the district is included in the planned metropolis of New Bombay, and its port, the Jawaharlal Nehru Port.

The district includes Kashid and Kihim beaches, besides the towns of Mahad and Panvel.

The district also includes the isle of Gharapuri or Elephanta, located in Mumbai Harbor which has ancient Hindu and Buddhist caves.

History

The district was called Colaba or Kulaba during British rule, a name that is derived from it ancient form, and which means the "Land of the Koli". The Koli are an adivasi, or tribal people.

Later the district was renamed to Alibaug, after the Muslim African principality of Murud-Janjira was merged into it after 1947; the town of Alibaug is the largest urban settlement and the capital of the district.

The fort of Murud was being built by minor Koli chieftains as part of their defense against piracy when, by a stratagem, Siddis (African Muslims from Somalia), slaves and employees of the Bahamani Sultanate, seized it and made it their headquarters.

The tiny Muslim state of Murud-Janjira withstood attempts by many local powers, such as the Portuguese, English, Marathas, etc. to seize it but was never conquered. It allied at different times with different powers, often with the Mughal Empire and thrived off piracy. The Siddis even attempted to seize Bombay from England, and actually succeeded in overwhelming the English force but were driven out by a militia organized by a Parsi settler from among the natives who had immigrated from Surat. Finally, it entered the system of subsidiary alliance with Britain, becoming a princely state of British India, in which condition it remained until 1947, when it acceded to newly-independent India.
