Kurla (Pronunciation: [kuɾlaː]) is a suburb of East Mumbai, India. It is the headquarters of the Kurla taluka of Mumbai Suburban district. The neighbourhood is named after the eponymous East Indian village that it grew out of. It falls under Zone 5, Ward 'L' of the Bombay Municipal Corporation. Its railway station, spelt as Coorla until 1890,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> is one of the busiest on the Mumbai suburban railway on the central and harbour railway lines of Mumbai as is the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) for out-station passenger/express trains.
HistoryEdit
Kurla gets its name from the East Indian village of Kurla, whose name, in turn, originated from "Kurli", the local name for crab, as these were found in plenty in marshes in the vicinity of the village. The village of Kurla came under Portuguese rule when the Treaty of Bassein (1534) was signed by Sultan Bahadur of Gujarat and the Kingdom of Portugal on 23 December 1534. In 1548, the village of Kurla and six other villages were given by the Governor of Portuguese India to Antonio Pessoa as a reward for his military services.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Kurla remained under Portuguese rule until the British occupied Salsette Island in 1774. The island was formally ceded to the East India Company in the 1782 Treaty of Salbai.
In 1805, Kurla was connected to Sion on Bombay Island by the Sion Causeway. Coorla, as it was spelt during the British Raj until 1890, was a major station on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway between Bombay and Thane, the first railway line in British India when it opened in 1853.
In 1808, Kurla, along with the villages of Mohili, Kolekalyan, Marol, Sahar, Asalphe, and Parjapur, were given by the British to a Parsi merchant of Bombay, Mr. Hormasji Bamanji Wadia in exchange for a piece of land near the Apollo pier gate in Bombay. His Son, Mr. Ardeshir Hormasji Wadia, after whom the A. H. Wadia Road was named, paid for them a yearly Quit-rent of £358 (Rs. 3587).
Kurla had two cotton mills, one of them, the Dharamsi Punjabhai, being the largest cotton spinning and weaving mill in the Bombay Presidency, with 92,094 spindles and 1280 looms. The other was the Kurla Spinning and Weaving Mill. Kurla village had a population of 9,715 at that time. About half of them worked in the mills, while the rest were fishermen, husbandmen (farmers) and salt-makers. The Holy Cross Church at Kurla, built during the Portuguese rule and rebuilt in 1848, is one of the oldest churches in Mumbai.<ref name="GAZPLC">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The Mithibai Hormasji Wadia Dispensary was built by Mr. Bamanji Hormasji Wadia in 1855, and endowed by him with £1200 (Rs. 12,000). It was in charge of an assistant surgeon, and, in 1880–81, had an attendance of 7367 out-patients. The salt pans covered an area of about Template:Convert and yielded a yearly revenue of £3418 (Rs. 34,180). There was also a considerable manufacture of shell lime. The Stone quarries of Kurla were well known<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> and supplied material for the construction of most of the city's famous heritage buildings<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> like the Prince of Wales Museum,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and the General Post Office<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> among others.
The beginning of the twentieth century saw Kurla develop as an important centre of the mill industry. In 1910, there were reported to be several mills in Kurla, engaged in the manufacturing of cotton cloth and woollen cloth in steam factories. Kurla, however, was an old textile industrial core, an outlier to the main cotton mill zone. A relatively cheaper land value and nearness to water and power mains enabled rapid industrial expansion of the suburbs and the Kurla-Ghatkopar–Vikhroli–Bhandup belt soon developed into the largest industrial zone in the suburbs of Mumbai.<ref name="GAZIND">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The Central Railway began its Harbour Line services from Kurla to Reay Road station on 12 December 1910. This service was extended to Victoria Terminus in 1925.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The Kurla Railway Car-shed was constructed in 1925 when electrification of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) Harbour line was undertaken. The first electric train in Asia that ran between CST and Coorla on 3 February 1925 was maintained at this car shed.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The Salsette–Trombay Railway, also known as the Central Salsette Tramway, opened in 1928. The 13-kilometre line, a project of the Bombay Improvement Trust run by the GIPR, ran from Trombay to Andheri via Kurla and lasted only a few years.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Premier Automobiles Limited built their first automobile assembly plant in Kurla in 1946<ref name = "ALL">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and began production in March 1947,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> collaborating with American automobile manufacturer Chrysler to manufacture Dodge, Plymouth and Desoto models in India. The iconic Premier Padmini car was also built at Kurla from 1964<ref name = "NYT">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> until the plant closed down in 1997.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> This resulted in the development of the old Kurla neighbourhood into an automobile industrial zone during the late fifties and sixties.<ref name="GAZ2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The Bombay Taximen Union began building the Taximens Colony close to the Mithi river in Kurla in 1969. It was inaugurated by union leader George Fernandes in 1972. The Bombay Taximens Cooperative housing society is Mumbai's second largest housing society.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
The Dairy Development Department of the State Government, in order to cope-up with the increasing demand for milk, established a dairy at Nehru nagar, Kurla (East) in 1975.<ref name="GAZAGR">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Metro 2B is 23.643 km (14.691 mi) long and connects D.N. Nagar to Mankhurd. It will have stations at Template:Stl, Template:Stl and Template:Stl.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A metro station for Kurla Terminus was originally proposed for Metro 2B but was cancelled in September 2020 because it was in the path of the restricted funnel zone for Mumbai Airport. Further, the proposed SG Barve Marg station was only 474 metres away from the proposed Kurla Terminus station. Another issue was that the Kurla Terminus station would have been located in between the Santa Cruz–Chembur Link Road (SCLR) rail overbridge and another permanent structure.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
