History
There is a record of continuous habitation since the 1630s, as per parish records of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church.[citation needed]. The word is most probably coming from the ancient Prakrit language of which a Sanskritized version would be Dadhīśvaraḥ (=IAST, Dadhishvar).
Dahisar was originally a part of Thane District; it became a part of Mumbai in 1956.[1]
