The name was given to this area on name of Mr. Marotrao Shambshio Kannamwar who was an Indian politician who served as Chief Minister of Maharashtra from 20 November 1962 to 24 November 1963.<br />
<br />
Kannamwar Nagar lies somewhat in the centre of [[Mumbai]] and provides easy access to all cities through the roads that run through it. Agra Road, officially called the [[Eastern Express Highway]] connects it to [[Thane]], [[Dadar]], [[Chembur]] and [[Vashi]]. It is well connected by Shastri Marg on its western part which connects it to [[Bandra]], [[Jogeshwari]] and other western suburbs.<br />
<br />
A proposal for a bridge has been made, which is to be built over the [[Thane Creek]] from Kannamwar Nagar off the eastern express highway to [[Kopar Khairane]] in [[Navi Mumbai]], thereby providing a much needed third bridge linking Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. The popular bus routes operating from this area are 394 and 397 (to kannamwar nagar), 353 (to [[Wadala]]), 354 (to dadar), 388 (to Seepz depot) and 185 (to jogeshwari). From vikhroli west, Route No 7 (to Backbay) is the most patronised.<br />
