About Alibag

History:

Alibag is a coastal town and municipal council in Raigad district of Maharashtra, India. It is the headquarters of the Raigad district.

Alibag and its surrounding villages are the historic hinterlands of Bene Israeli Jews, for more than 2550 years.

He was a rich man and owned many plantations of mangoes and coconuts in his gardens. Hence the locals used to call the place "Elichi Bagh" and in the subsequent generations pronunciation changed to simply "Alibag", and the name stuck.[1] Alibag houses a magnetic observatory which was set up in 1904. It serves as one of the significant observatories forming part of a global network now run by Indian Institute of Geomagnetism.
