From pre-Christian times until 1312, the area - like the entire region - was ruled by various [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] and [[Hindus|Hindu]] rulers. The first state known by name was the [[Maurya Empire|Mauryan Empire]], the last non-Muslim dynasty were the [[Seuna (Yadava) dynasty|Yadavas of Devagiri]]. After decades of military clashes with Muslim rulers in northern India, the region was occupied by Muslim armies between 1312 and 1470. From 1500 on there was fierce fighting for rule on the coast between the Muslim rulers and the Portuguese. After that, various Muslim dynasties ruled until 1658 (Sultanate of Delhi, [[Bahmani]], [[Deccan Sultanates]] and the [[Mughals]]). From 1658, most of the area became part of the [[Maratha Empire]]. After the defeat of the Marathas against the British in 1818, Ratnagiri area became an administrative region of the [[Bombay Presidency]]. With the independence of India in 1947 and the reorganization of the country, it became part of the new [[Bombay State]] in 1950. In 1948 the district grew through the incorporation of the Sawantwadi princely state. In 1960, Bombay State was divided and the area became part of the newly created state of [[Maharashtra]]. In 1981 the district was divided and the southern part of the district became [[Sindhudurg district]].<ref>{{harvnb|Greater Bombay District Gazetteer|1986|loc="Ancient Period"}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Greater Bombay District Gazetteer|1986|loc="Medieval Period"}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Greater Bombay District Gazetteer|1986|loc="Muhammedan Period"}}</ref> |

Ratnagiri District (Marathi pronunciation: [ɾət̪n̪aːɡiɾiː]) is a district in the state of Maharashtra, India.[1] The administrative headquarter of the district is located in the town of Ratnagiri.[1] The district is 11.33% urban.[2] The district is bounded by the Arabian Sea to the west, Sindhudurg district to the south, Raigad district to the north and Satara, Sangli and Kolhapur districts to the east.[1] This district is part of Konkan division.[1]
History
From pre-Christian times until 1312, the area - like the entire region - was ruled by various Buddhist and Hindu rulers. The first state known by name was the Mauryan Empire, the last non-Muslim dynasty were the Yadavas of Devagiri. After decades of military clashes with Muslim rulers in northern India, the region was occupied by Muslim armies between 1312 and 1470. From 1500 on there was fierce fighting for rule on the coast between the Muslim rulers and the Portuguese. After that, various Muslim dynasties ruled until 1658 (Sultanate of Delhi, Bahmani, Deccan Sultanates and the Mughals). From 1658, most of the area became part of the Maratha Empire. After the defeat of the Marathas against the British in 1818, Ratnagiri area became an administrative region of the Bombay Presidency. With the independence of India in 1947 and the reorganization of the country, it became part of the new Bombay State in 1950. In 1948 the district grew through the incorporation of the Sawantwadi princely state. In 1960, Bombay State was divided and the area became part of the newly created state of Maharashtra. In 1981 the district was divided and the southern part of the district became Sindhudurg district.[3][4][5]
Geography
An outstanding feature of the geography of the district is its uneven or hill topography, with about 45% of the district being characterized as 'hilly'.[6] Very narrow riverine plains fringe the coastline.[6]
