The Bombay Presidency was a province   of British India. It was first established at Surat in the 17th century   as a trading post for the English East India Company, but it later grew   to encompass much of western and central India, as well as part of the   Arabian Peninsula and areas later included in Pakistan.

At its greatest extent, the Bombay Presidency   comprised the present-day state of Gujarat, the western two-thirds of   Maharashtra state, including the regions of Konkan, Desh, and Kandesh,   and northwestern Karnataka state of India; it also included Pakistan's   Sindh province (1843-1935) and the British territory of Aden in Yemen   (1839-1939). It consisted of districts which were directly under British   rule. It did not include the native or princely states, whose internal   administration was the responsibility of local rulers, but it was   responsible for managing the defence of many princely states and for   British relations with them. Bombay Presidency along with Calcutta   Presidency and Madras Presidency were the three major centres of British   power.
