- Description:
- There are multiple stories regarding the origin of Mazagon’s name. The popularly accepted story suggests it came from Matsyagrama (a fishermen’s village), which in the local language became Machch-gav. The English referred to it as Massegoung, which was shortened to Mazagaon, while the Portuguese called it Mazaguao. Another simpler theory states that it originated from the Marathi phrase ‘maza gaon,’ which means ‘my own village.’

- Description:
- As a gesture of goodwill and public service, the descendants of Nawab Ayaz supported the construction of a sizable tank on the site of which a pyau (drinking waterspout) was placed in 1916. Horses and bullocks that pulled carts carrying cargo to the warehouses and dockyards had their own section of the tank. Subsequently, the tank was filled and transformed into a playground. It also has a subterranean water tank.
