Bombay became the capital city of the Bombay
Presidency in 1819 after the defeat of the

As the trade in opium and other trade grew, large
communities of traders and bankers as well as
artisans and shopkeepers came to settle in
Bombay. Another important reason for the
expansion of Bombay was the establishment of
textile mills which also led to a fresh surge in
migration.
