3. History of Mumbai
 The name Mumbai is derived from the name of a local
Goddess called Mumbadevi. The name changed to Mumbai
from Bombay in 1996.
 The history of this beautiful city dates back to the formation
of the seven islands, namely Colaba, Mazagaon, Mahim, Parel,
Bombay Island, Worli and Old Woman's Island.
 This group of islands infact formed a part of the kingdom of
Ashoka, the famed Buddhist emperor of India.
 From the early 19th century, the city went under a massive
reconstruction and also experienced a boost in the economy
during the American Civil War.
 Apart from the reconstruction and the ownership, Mumbai
(previously called Bombay) has also been witness to mass
carnage during the Second World War and the Hindu-Muslim
Riots.
 A series of refurbishments and battles later, the city was
officially deemed as the capital of the state of Maharashtra.
