Candola was founded by the Portuguese, in 1783, after Raja Bahadur Khem Savant III from the Kingdom of Sawantwadi ceded its lands to Portugal, in order to receive military help against the Kingdom of Kolhapur.

There is a bridge over River, connecting it to the inner parts of Goa, and another over the canal, connecting it to the island.[2]
