Naigaon West is a coastal area which was originally a fishing village which now comprises the residential colonies like Mariam Nagar, Amol Nagar, Vijay Complex, Dias & Pereira Nagar, Palli bunder, Roshan Park (Palli), Naigaon Koliwada (fishing village) and Umela village (sakai nagar). It has a very old church now called as ''Mother of God church''. it can be presumed that it was built sometime between 1577 and 1585 (Meersman 1971-184) According to Paulo de Trindade, there was a very beautiful statue of Our Lady in the Church reiterated by the Franciscan Chronicler that states that the Church was dedicated to the Mother of God and possessed an image of our Lady of great beauty pierced by a sword for which the people of the area had great devotion. Fr. Humbert informs us that the Franciscan fathers quit during the Maratha invasion in 1739 and it appears that the church was destroyed during this invasion.
Mariam Nagar is the only place where salt is produced on a mass scale. Naigaon west is more used for drying of fish by kolis (fishing community) dwelling in the vicinity. Naigaon west is famous for toddy (palm wine) tapped from the borassus flabellifer tree which is a type of palm. The creek between Bhyander and Naigaon west makes it very difficult and expensive to create a road route to connect Bhyander and hence typical road route used is via Vasai west.
Water supply is not available for Naigaon west societies Vasai Municipal made a water tank in 2013, but there is no connection to it.
