Hii dear here is your answer

The Parsis began to settle there in the 8th century. Local Hindu traditions state that the city was founded in the last years of the fifteenth century A.C.E. by a Brahman named Gopi, who called it Suryapūr (City of the Sun). In 1512 and again in 1530 Surat was ravaged by the Portuguese Empire..



Surat was the Mughal Empire's most important port city, and is where the British gained their first foothold along the Western Coast of India. For centuries, Surat has been known as a center of trade and textiles.
