Borivali is a coastal suburb of Mumbai and is located at its north-western end. Borivali is approximately {{convert|18|km|mi}} from Mumbai Airport. The estimated population of Borivali in 2010 was 513,077.

History

Borivali has developed from what was once a congregate region of smaller towns namely; Eksar, Poisar, Vazira, Shimpoli, Mandpeshwar, Kanheri, Tulsi, Magathane and others, which were situated on and around Mount Poinsur, between the Dahisar River and Poisar River.

It is believed that the name 'Borivali' comes from the existence of a lot of bushes of a sweet fruit called 'Borr'(Marathi) meaning berries in English. Hence, named the town of berries literally 'bori-vali'. The existence of the ancient temple of Lord Ganesha 'Shree Svayambhu Ganpati Devalaya' in Vazira Naka area, meaning the 'self-manifested ' or the 'one that is created from its own accord' in Hinduism, and of the 'Our Lady of Immaculate Conception', a Roman Catholic church at Mt. Poinsur, are the examples of the mix of ethnicity and a vibrant cultural mix of the population living here.

The pre-historic era's "Mandpeshwar" and "Kanheri caves" stand testament to the rich history of this place. Borivali was spelt 'Berewlee' by the then ruled India under the British Raj Era. It is also spelt and pronounced as "Borivli".

Borivali is densely populated but continues to retain some green cover due to the presence of the 'Sanjay Gandhi National Park',[3] previously known as the "BORIVALI NATIONAL PARK" in the east and the mangroves in the west end of Borivali.

The plot measures around 4 acres, has a jogging track surrounding a water body where boating facilities have been started and features slabs with information on various freedom fighters scripted on them, besides seating areas for senior citizens. Another Joggers' Park is located in Chikuwadi. Borivali is a melting pot of different ages as the large number of gardens in the western part of this suburb makes this an ideal residential option for kids, senior citizens, the middle aged, and college goers.
