Palghar District

History: 

District Palghar has a golden historical heritage in Vasai, Palghar and Jauhertarcus. Vasai taluka was dominated by Portugij. When the Goback movement for liberation from the British Empire began in India in 1942, five great Palugal martyrs sacrificed their lives for the country to support the movement. Until August 1, 2014, Talukas, which now forms the Palghar district, formed part of the Thane district. After nearly 25 years of struggle and a call for division, the creation of a new district was approved on June 13, 2014, and the new district Palghar was established on August 1.
