'''Dahisar''' is the northernmost neighborhood (and railway station) of [[Mumbai]]. Dahisar is the first locality of [[Mumbai]] from the north.<br />
<br />
On the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] (which is part of the Indian Western Railway line), that runs from Churchgate to Virar, Dahisar is immediately north and next to the populous suburb of [[Borivali]], which has a train station of the same name.<br />
<br />
After Dahisar, when travelling northwards on the [[Churchgate railway station|Churchgate]] - [[Virar]] Western Railway line the immediate next railway station or stop is Mira Road station.<br />
<br />
The 'Dahisar Check Naka' is a toll station at Dahisar (East) that marks the end of Mumbai, on the [[Western Express Highway]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
There is a record of continuous habitation since the 1630s, as per parish records of the [[Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church, Mt. Poinsur|Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church]].{{cn|date=May 2020}}. The word is most probably coming from the ancient Prakrit language of which a Sanskritized version would be Dadhīśvaraḥ (=IAST, Dadhishvar).<br />
<br />
Dahisar was originally a part of [[Thane]] District; it became a part of [[Mumbai]] in 1956.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mumbaisuburban.gov.in/ |title=Mumbai Suburban District |publisher=Mumbaisuburban.gov.in |access-date=2013-01-11}}</ref><br />
