Selecting a polygon within an array of complex polygons

Question

I have an array of polygons which are arrays of points. There are no gaps and none of them overlap like a Voronoi diagram.

Unlike a Voronoi diagram I cannot simply find the nearest centroid to select a polygon, this returns the correct polygon most of the time but sometimes the point lies within a neighboring polygon.

The developer tools in my chrome browser seem to be able to do it with the selection tool but I have no idea how it is doing it.
