It is situated near the banks of the Damanganga River, around 28 km south of the district headquarters in the city of Valsad, and it is surrounded by the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. It is believed that city got its name from the old small stepwell situated near the balitha area. The meaning of vapi in sanskrit is a water reservoir or a water storage body.
  The town originally belonged to the Kshatriya Jagirdar family Palande during the Maratha Empire. After independence from the British Crown in 1951, the Jagirdar system was abolished by the Indian government and the community of Anavil Brahmin who formerly acted as tax farmers during the era of the Maratha Empire received the land.
  Jains and other tribal castes later migrated to the city.
  Vapi is also Known as the City of Chemicals, it is the largest industrial area in Gujarat in terms of small-scale industries, dominated by the chemical industry.
  In 2008 it was ranked the second-most-polluted place in India, mainly due to its poor air and water quality caused by nearby industrial sites.
