The administrative of the district have undergone considerable
changes due to frequent revision, for a variety of reason,
such as split of the original North Konkan district, re-organisation
of following the creation of the Maharashtra and the more
recent expansion of the limits of Mumbai city.
As a result, bounderies of the district both in the North
