History
The names Borivaḻī (बोरिवळी) and Boriyli-gram occur as the name of a place in the 15th-17th-century Marathi-language text Mahikavatichi Bakhar; these names derive from the term for the Indian jujube tree (bor in Marathi).
The present-day Borivali has developed from what was once a conglomerate region of smaller settlements, namely Eksar, Poisar, Vazira, Shimpoli, Mandpeshwar, Dattapada, Kanheri, Tulsi, Magathane, and Gorai, which were situated on and around Mount Poinsur, between the Dahisar River and Poisar River.
The pre-historic era's "Mandpeshwar" (“An 8th-century remain of a beautiful Edifice structure, the Mandapeshwar Caves is a rock cut architecture and a Hindu shrine of Lord Shiva located near Borivali IC Colony, at walking distance from Dahisar Railway Station”) 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. 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, previously known as the "Borivali National Park", in the east and the mangroves in the western end of Borivali.
