The '''Treaty of Baçaim''' was signed by [[Sultan Bahadur of Gujarat]] and the [[Kingdom of Portugal]] on 23 December 1534 while on board the [[galleon]] ''São Mateus''. Based on the terms of the agreement, the [[Portuguese Empire]] gained control of the city of [[Baçaim]], as well as its territories, islands, and seas. The [[Bombay Islands|Ilhas de Bombaim]] which were ruled from [[Portuguese Goa]] included [[Colaba|Colabá Grande]], [[Old Woman's Island|Colabá Pequeno]], [[Bombay|Bombaim]], [[Mazagaon|Mazagão]], [[Worli|Vorlim]], [[Matunga|Matungá]], and [[Mahim]]. [[Salsette]], [[Daman and Diu|Damão é Div]], [[Thane]], [[Kalyan, India|Kalyan]], and [[Chaul]] were other territories controlled and settled by the Portuguese.


At the time, the cession of [[Bombay]] was of minor importance, but it gained a crucial importance when the place passed from the Portuguese to the English in 1661 as part of the dowry of [[Catherine of Braganza]], and became a major trade center, making this the treaty's most important long-term result.
