Recently, the 'Mumbai' district was bifurcated into the Mumbai & Mumbai Suburban districts; the latter covers Salsette Island.
* In 1961 the Konkan region became a part of the newly formed state of [[Maharashtra]]. Prior to this it was a part of Bombay province which was split to form [[Gujarat]] and [[Maharashtra]].
* Creation of the [[Sindhudurg District|Sindhudurg]] from the southern areas of the [[Ratnagiri District|Ratnagiri]] district.
* The erstwhile [[Kolaba district]] was renamed as [[Raigad District|Raigad]].
