Mirigama (also spelled Meerigama) (Sinhala: මීරිගම; Tamil: மீரிகம) is a town in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka. It is located 57 km (35 mi) from Colombo, 46 km (29 mi) from Kurunegala and 34 km (21 mi) from Negombo.

Mirigama is the hometown of Sri Lanka's first Prime Minister, D. S. Senanayake[1] and former speaker of the Parliament of Sri Lanka Karu Jayasuriya.[2]

The Central Expressway (under construction as of June 2018) includes two interchanges serving Mirigama: Mirigama North and Mirigama South.[3]

Etymology

Mirigama is a derivation of mihiri-gama, meaning sweet place. According to local mythology, King Walagamba had heard his win against a local ruler when he was in the area, and named the village Mirigama, as that's where he heard the "sweet" news.[citation needed]

Geography

The town is situated in a undulating plain with surrounding hills.[citation needed]
