Line 65:
Not much of the rich and great history of Manickpur is documented. It is only passed on through the generations by word of mouth. There are instances of this village in some old [[manuscripts]].
In some old [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] manuscripts, this place was called 'puri', no explanation is found on why it was called so. One of the assumptions is that earlier there might have been a temple on the lines of the [[Jagannath Temple]] in [[Puri]] in [[Orissa, India|Orissa]], and hence this place was named so. In Portuguese and English manuscripts this place was also referred to as ''porim''.
This name gradually changed to ''manickpuri'', there is no instance of any written documentation on this. It is also said that many [[South Indians]] settled here due to the proximity of [[Bombay]] (as it was earlier known) which was rich in terms of industries, mills and factories. The name then gradually changed from ''Porim'' to ''Manickpurm''.
