TheKandivali railway station was built more than 100 years ago in 1907, then known as Khandolee. The station derived its name from theEast Indian village of Condolim. Earth and stones from Paran, a hillock east of the Kandivali railway station were quarried to reclaim theBombay Backbay. On this account a railway line was opened, a workshop was erected, and a number of dwelling houses were constructed for officers and workmen numbering thousands.[2] The area around Western Urban Road betweenMalad and Kandivali had numerous stone quarries and was once famous for Malad Stone. Many heritage buildings in Mumbai were constructed with Malad stone between 1860 and 1930, most notable among them are David Sassoon library, Bombay House and the Western Railway building atChurchgate.
During the plagues of 1900s, the Fonseca's fromBandra migrated to Kandivali. They initially settled down to the east of Kandivali at Akurli and then moved to the west atPoisar.[3] This is where they thrived, and a few families still reside to this day.
