The Villages in Thane City & Thane Taluka
Aparant’ is the ancient name of the geographical area hosting Thane city. During the Indian expedition of the Greek Emperor Alexander, a number of philosophers, historians and geographists visited India. Among them, a Greek historian ‘Tolemi’ has mentioned the city of Thane in his writings. A famous sailor named Marcopolo had also visited Thane in 1290 A.D. and noted it to be one of the best cities in the world. A Village called ‘Ghodbunder’ was famous for horse-trading thus deriving its name from the word ghoda i.e. horse and bunder meaning port.
From 810 A.D. to 1260 A.D. the Shilahar Dynasty ruled over Thane. At this time the Shilahars also divided the city into different sections and named them as ‘padas’. It is seen that these padas exist even today by names of Naupada, Patlipada, Agripada etc.
