Vajragad was sometimes also called as "Vajirgad". Fort was built for keeping a watch on movements between Vasai Fort & Arnala Fort during Vasai Mohim of Peshavas during the period 1737 - 1739. Fort had some 7-8 bastions , a big water tank which is still existebt, Dhal Khatichi Jaga (Nishan Buruj), Hanuman murti, Sadar (Place of discussion) built in 1738.

The area has little of the earlier structure remained. The area is today more famous for its Dattatreya temple. Local people might not even know the place by the name Vajragad but one has to ask for Datta Mandir. The place is owned privately but the entry to the temple and the surroundings is not restricted.
