Kurla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurla is a major suburb of Mumbai. It is also the name of one the busiest railway stations on the Mumbai suburban railway on the central and harbour railway lines of Mumbai.

[edit] History

In 1918, the Bombay city limits were expanded out to Kurla. A new railway line connecting Kurla to Chembur was constructed and then extended to Mankhurd. A spate of building activity took place in the 1920s.

The Bandra-Kurla Commercial Complex added to the commercial value of Kurla.

[edit] Education

Kurla has one engineering college (Don Bosco Institute of Technology (DBIT)), and several schools (Holy Cross High School, Karthika High School, and Michael High School).
