[[Image:Map GujDist CentralEast.png|thumb|300px|right|Districts of central Gujarat]]
'''Bharuch''' (formerly commonly known as '''Broach''') ([[Gujarati language|Gujarati]]: ભરૂચ) in [[India]], is a district in the southern part of the [[Gujarat|Gujarat peninsula]] on the west coast of [[States and territories of India|state]] of Gujarat with a size and population comparable to that of Greater [[Boston]]. The [[Narmada River]] outlets into the [[Gulf of Khambat]] through its lands and that shipping artery gave inland access to the kingdoms and empires located in the central and northern parts of the sub-continent of India.
==History==
The city of [[Bharuch]] and its surrounds—today's district—has been settled far back into antiquity and was a major shipping building center and [[sea port]] in the important [[compass|pre-compass]] [[trade|coastal trading]] routes to points West, perhaps as far back as the days of the [[Pharaohs]], which utilized the regular and predictable [[Monsoon]] winds or [[galley]]s. Many goods from the [[Far East]] (the famed [[Maluku Islands|Spice]] and Silk trade) were trans-shipped there for the annual monsoon winds making it a terminus for several key land-sea [[trade routes]] and Bharuch was definitely known to the [[Greeks]], the various [[Persian Empire]]s and in the [[Rome|Roman Republic and Empire]] and other Western centers of civilization right on through the end of the [[Europe]]an [[Middle Ages]].
With the advent of the [[Age of Discovery]], the presence of deep draft sea going shipping it began a long slow decline in importance as it was a bit too far north to be convenient to shipping not confined to keeping within sight of shore.
==Divisions==
Administratively, it contains the [[taluka]]s (administrative subdistricts) of [[Bharuch]], [[Ankleshwar]], [[Hansot]], [[Jambusar]], [[Jhagadia]], [[Amod, Gujarat|Amod]], [[Valia]] and [[Vagra]]. It also contains the city of [[Bharuch]].
