Salcete or Salcette (Konkani: Saxtti/Xaxtti) is a subdivision of the district of South Goa, in the state of Goa, situated by the west coast of India.[3] The River Sal and its backwaters dominate the landscape of Salcete.[4] Historically, the sixty-six settlements south of the Zuari River formed the original Salcette territory.[5] Salcete forms a part of the bigger Konkan region that stretches along the western shoreline of peninsular India.[6]
In erstwhile Portuguese Goa, the Salcette concelho (county) located in the Velhas Conquistas (Old Conquests) was co-terminous with the undivided Salcette territory (Mormugao and Salcete talukas).[7] In 1917, the concelho was bifurcated into the present-day talukas of Mormugao and Salcete.[8] The contemporary Salcete taluka has been classified as a rurban area.[9] Margao serves as the administrative headquarters of both Salcete taluka and the South Goa district.[10]
