It is located on the A03 road between Colombo and Negombo. Seeduwa is {{convert|20.6|km||abbr=on}} north of Colombo via E003, and {{convert|18.7|km||abbr=on}} north via A03, and is situated south of Katunayake, north of Ja-Ela, and west of Raddoluwa and east of Negombo Lagoon. Seeduwa has an area of {{convert|12.065|sqkm||abbr=on}}. In 2012, Seeduwa had a population of 38,355[4] with the majority of people either Roman Catholics, Methodists or Buddhists. EtymologyThere are four theories about the origin of the name "Seeduwa": Duwa දූව pronounced [ðūvə]) meaning "island" is given to the village as it is surrounded by the river Dandugam Oya (Attanugalu Oya), as well as canals and paddy fields, giving Seeduwa an island-like appearance.[5] The four theories concern the beginning portion "සී" (See-) of the name Seeduwa.
HistoryThe first historical evidence of Seeduwa occurs in the era of King Bhuwanekabahu V, when this area was given to a chief named Simha.[6] As Seeduwa is a village in the coastal area, which has been governed by the Portuguese, Dutch and English during their respective periods of control of the island, thus their influence is significant.[11] Evidence from the Dutch period includes the observation tower at Amandoluwa. In 1890, a Roman Catholic church building was built in Seeduwa, for a congregation which had previously met in a small tent. With the development occurred after establishment of open economy, this area became very significant as a result of the location in between the Investment Promotion Zone in Katunayake, and Ekala Industrial Estate. Most of the employees started to board in Seeduwa. As a result, Seeduwa got more populated. GeographySeeduwa is bordered from the Dandugam Oya (Aththanugalu Oya) to the South and East, while from the Negombo Lagoon to the West. It is majorly composed of land, marshes and the mangroves.[7] Dandugam Oya (Aththanagalu Oya), and Dickwela stream, which is a natural stream starting from the river exist as the water bodies running through the village. Marshy fields are found surrounding the canal and the river. Mangrove ecosystems are found in the estuary of Dandugam Oya (Aththanagalu Oya), and along the lining of the lagoon. Most of the water is taken from ground, as per availability of ground water.[7] ClimateSeeduwa has a tropical monsoon climate. Temperature of Seeduwa is fairly temperate throughout the year. May and October are the months with maximum precipitation. The yearly average temperature is 29.5 °C (85.1 °F).{{Weather box|location=Seeduwa, Sri Lanka|metric first=Yes|single line=Yes|Jan high C=31|Feb high C=31|Mar high C=31|Apr high C=31|May high C=31|Jun high C=30|Jul high C=30|Aug high C=30|Sep high C=30|Oct high C=30|Nov high C=30|Dec high C=30|year high C=33|Jan mean C=26.5|Feb mean C=26.5|Mar mean C=27|Apr mean C=27.5|May mean C=28|Jun mean C=27.5|Jul mean C=27.5|Aug mean C=27.5|Sep mean C=27|Oct mean C=27|Nov mean C=26.5|Dec mean C=26|year mean C=29.5|Jan low C=22|Feb low C=22|Mar low C=23|Apr low C=24|May low C=25|Jun low C=25|Jul low C=25|Aug low C=25|Sep low C=24|Oct low C=24|Nov low C=23|Dec low C=22|year low C=26|precipitation colour=green|Jan precipitation mm=62|Feb precipitation mm=69|Mar precipitation mm=130|Apr precipitation mm=253|May precipitation mm=382|Jun precipitation mm=186|Jul precipitation mm=125|Aug precipitation mm=114|Sep precipitation mm=236|Oct precipitation mm=369|Nov precipitation mm=310|Dec precipitation mm=168|year precipitation mm=|time day=Daytime|Jan humidity=70|Feb humidity=69|Mar humidity=69|Apr humidity=72|May humidity=77|Jun humidity=79|Jul humidity=78|Aug humidity=77|Sep humidity=76|Oct humidity=77|Nov humidity=76|Dec humidity=72|year humidity=76|unit precipitation days=|Jan precipitation days=8|Feb precipitation days=7|Mar precipitation days=11|Apr precipitation days=18|May precipitation days=23|Jun precipitation days=22|Jul precipitation days=15|Aug precipitation days=15|Sep precipitation days=17|Oct precipitation days=21|Nov precipitation days=19|Dec precipitation days=12|year precipitation days=|Jan sun=248|Feb sun=246|Mar sun=276|Apr sun=234|May sun=202|Jun sun=195|Jul sun=202|Aug sun=202|Sep sun=189|Oct sun=202|Nov sun=210|Dec sun=217|year sun=|source 1=World Weather and Climate Information[8]|source 2=World Weather Online (yearly)[9]|date=May 2012}} GovernmentBefore 1970, Seeduwa was governed by the Andiambalama Village Council.

EconomyIn the 19th century, the economy of Seeduwa was based on coconut and cinnamon production, as well as carpentry, in which the residents were employed in.[5] After the economical changes happened in Sri Lanka in 1977, a noticeable change of economy happened in this area. Therefore, this area was chosen to the establishment of Investment Promotion Zone, Bandaranayake International Airport (CMB), army camps, State Distilleries Corporation (Currently DCSL) were established in this area.

An old Sanhida is located under the Banyan tree near the ferry.[5] In the 17th century, Roman Catholic priests came to the village and many were converted. In 1890, a church was built and dedicated to Immaculata Virgin Mary, replacing a tent the congregation had met in previously.[5] In 1814, Methodist ministers arrived and established a church, converted a number of people.[5] During the early 20th century, relations between Catholics and Methodists were strained. In 1946, Methodist leader Rev. Dencil De Silva, who led the Methodist council, opened a youth centre to people of any religion, easing some of the religious tension in the region.[5] Now all live in peace and harmony.
