Daman and Diu are two distinct isolated blocks of land located at a distance of around 800 km from each other on the western frontier of the Gujarat Province, adjacent to the Arabian Sea. These two pockets, formerly each consisting of a district of the former Union Territory of Goa, were formed into a separate Union Territory. Daman and Diu are detached from Goa.
Previously, they were Portuguese Colonies until 19 December 1961, when they were published along with Goa. As in the case of Daman, Diu is an island of just 40 sq.km. In the city, it also becomes a 'Town,' solely on administrative and political grounds.
