Both Nanidaman and Motidaman are connected to each other by bridges.

Daman was discovered in 1498 by Vasco de Gama. Soon after it was settled as a Portuguese colony and remained so for over 400 years. A larger fort was built in Motidaman in the 16th century to guard against the Mughals who ruled the area until the Portuguese arrived. It still stands today, most of it preserved in its original form. Today the majority of the municipal government offices are situated inside this fort.

India went to war with Portugal for control of Daman in 1961. Many of Daman's Catholic citizens fought on the side of Portugal, but could not withstand the Indian onslaught. To this day, many of Daman's adults consider themselves more Portuguese than Indian.
