Jaffrabad
Jafrabad (the Jaffrabad of early records) is a coastal town in Amreli district, Gujarat, on the Saurashtra shore of the Arabian Sea, historically a port and a possession of the Nawab of Janjira. It handled coastal shipping and fishing trade under the Bombay Presidency. Its pre-1854 postal markings document the sea-and-land mail of the Kathiawar coast.
