'''[[Dahisar]]''' (station code: '''DIC''') is a railway station on the Western line of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] network. Dahisar station is the last station within [[Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation|Brinhanmumbai Municipal Corporation]] limits. The area around the station has heavy traffic and is congested.

With the construction of the [[railway]] line connecting Dahisar to the city of [[Mumbai]] in 1867,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theory.tifr.res.in/bombay/history/transport.html|title = History of Urban Transport in Mumbai: Mumbai/Bombay pages|date = 21 July 1997}}</ref> came the first lot of migrants, the people from [[Sindhudurg]] region of [[Konkan]]. These migrants established the first planned residential areas of Dahisar - Maratha Colony in Dahisar East and Mhatre Wadi in the West. The Railway authorities wanted to name the Railhead at Dahisar as Mount Poinsur, but the locals opposed this move and forced the authorities to name it as Dahisar. Currently, it has 4 platforms with 2 for Slow line (Up and Down) and 2 for fast line (Up and Down). All platforms can handle 15-coach Suburban trains.

The station was originally named ''Mount Poinsur'', after the locality of the [[Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church, Mt. Poinsur|Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church]] in [[Borivali]]. Due to demands from local residents who referred to the area as Dahisar, the Railways agreed to rename the station.<ref>{{cite news|title=As recent demands in Mumbai show, battles over station names never seem to end|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/as-recent-demands-in-mumbai-show-battles-over-station-names-never-seem-to-end/articleshow/57696982.cms|newspaper=The Economic Times|access-date=17 March 2017|last1=Doctor|first1=Vikram}}</ref>
