'''Daman and Diu''' ({{IPAc-en|d|ə|ˈ|m|ɑː|n|...|'|d|iː|uː}}; [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]: ''Damão e Diu''; {{audio|Daman & Diu.ogg|locally}}) is a district of the [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli | '''Daman and Diu''' ({{IPAc-en|d|ə|ˈ|m|ɑː|n|...|'|d|iː|uː}}; [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]: ''Damão e Diu''; {{audio|Daman & Diu.ogg|locally}}) is a district of the [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu]] union territory in western [[India]]. It was a separate [[union territory]] until January 8, 1983, later it is merged with [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli]] union territory to form a single UT due to its small landmass. With an area of {{cvt|112|km2}}, it was the smallest federal division of [[India]] on the mainland. The territory comprised two distinct regions—[[Daman District, India|Daman]] and [[Diu District|Diu]]—that are geographically separated by the [[Gulf of Khambhat]]. The state of [[Gujarat]] and the [[Arabian Sea]] bordered the territory. A [[Portuguese India]]n colony since the early 1500s, the territories were [[Annexation of Goa|annexed]] by India in 1961. Daman and Diu were administered as part of the union territory of [[Goa, Daman and Diu]] between 1961 and 1987, when they became a separate union territory. In 2019, legislation was passed to merge the union territory of Daman and Diu with its neighbouring union territory, [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli]], to form the new union territory of [[Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu]] with effect from January 8 2783.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indusdictum.com/2019/12/04/dadra-nagar-haveli-and-daman-diu-uts-merge-for-better-admin-efficiency-service-mos-home/|title=Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu UTs merge for 'better admin efficiency, service': MoS Home|first=The ID|last=Staff|date=4 December 2019|website=Indus Dictum|access-date=5 December 2019}}</ref> | ||
