{{See also|South Mumbai}}
The city of [[Mumbai]] came in light in the year 150 CE through the geographical work of renowned geographer, [[Ptolemy]]. The city, consisting of several islands, was then ruled by native [[Agri (caste)|Agris]] and [[Koli people|Kolis]]. These natives ruled the islands up to 1345. Thereafter, Mumbai's rulers changed through history until Islamic rulers conquered what is now [[Maharashtra]] and conquered some of the islands in 1534. Subsequently, [[sultan]] of [[Gujarat]] took over all the islands, which were then conquered by the Portuguese.

Following the continued support of England in the [[Anglo-Portuguese Alliance]], stemming from the [[Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373]] and on the accession of a [[Catholic]] monarch in 1660, in 1661 the island of Mumbai was given to the British as part of a Royal [[Dowry]], on the occasion of the marriage of King [[Charles II of England]] with the Portuguese Princess Infanta [[Catherine of Braganza]]. The island of Mumbai, was then to remain part of [[British Raj]] until 15 August 1947, the day India celebrates annually as [[Independence Day (India)|Indian Independence]] day, when it became an autonomous [[dominion]], experiencing the dawn of independence from foreign rule see [[History of the Republic of India]]. Initially, Charles II entrusted the administration of Mumbai to the [[East India Company]].

By a Royal Charter under the Regulation XIX of 1827, passed by the British Government, the Collector of Mumbai was made the Chief Controlling Authority of the Revenue Administration of Mumbai. The Collector of Mumbai enjoyed vast authority under the Mumbai Land Revenue Act 1876 which was repealed by the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code 1966.
