The seven islands that came to constitute Mumbai were home to communities of fishing colonies of the Koli people. The islands were under the control of successive indigenous empires before being ceded to the Portuguese Empire and subsequently to the East India Company when in 1661 Charles II of England married Catherine of Braganza and as part of her dowry Charles received the ports of Tangier and Seven Islands of Bombay. Along with construction of major roads and railways, the reclamation project, completed in 1845 transformed Bombay into a major seaport on the Arabian Sea.
