History
A suburban railway station was built in 1955. In January 1960, Ulhasnagar Municipality was formed, with Arjun K. Ballani as the first chief, and a municipal council was nominated. In 1965, elections were held for the first time in this council. In the late 1970s, Ulhasnagar was a town settled mainly by Sindhi Hindu refugees from Sindh Pakistan. Now this 28 square kilometre area has 389,000 people of Sindhi descent, the largest enclave of Sindhis in India. The town lies outside Mumbai city but within the Mumbai Conurbation. In 2010, the estimated population of Sindhi Hindus in Ulhasnagar was 400,000.
There are some criminal gangs in town working under the patronage of political parties. Also, for many illegal building projects in the 1990s, politicians started to charge money to look the other way.
