List of districts of Gujarat

The western Indian state of Gujarat has 34 districts after several splits of the original 17 districts at the formation of the state in 1960. Kutch is the largest district of Gujarat while Dang is the smallest. Ahmedabad is the most populated district while Dang is the least. There are 251 Talukas (subdivisions of districts) in Gujarat.

Gujarat state was created on 1 May 1960, out of the 17 northern districts of Bombay State when that was split on a linguistic basis (also creating Marathi speaking Maharashtra).

They are as follow : Ahmedabad, Amreli, Banaskantha, Bharuch, Bhavnagar, Dang, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Kheda, Kachchh, Mehsana, Panchmahal, Rajkot, Sabarkantha, Surat, Surendranagar and Vadodara.

In 1964, Gandhinagar was formed from parts of Ahmedabad and Mehsana.

In 1966, Valsad was split from Surat.

On 2 October 1997, five new districts were created:

In 2000, Patan District was formed from parts of Banaskantha and Mehsana.

On 2 October 2007, Tapi was split from Surat, as the state's 26th district.
