History[edit | edit source]
An 1864 timetable of the BB&CIR's first passenger train service between Grant Rd and Ahmedabad advertised in the Bombay Gazette mentions the station as 'Palghur'. A table of elevation of the stations and major bridges along the line published in the Magazine, Bombay Builder of 5 April 1867 further mentions a station named 'Palghur Station' on the line. However, one source suggests that Palghar railway station was opened in the year 1893. This might suggest that a small or temporary station must have been constructed earlier, later replaced by a proper station.
The presence of the station, and due to the plague epidemic of the 1890s, caused the rich from the nearby Mahim-Kelwa village, to settle in the village, aiding in the locality's growth. A Sessional paper of 1901 stated that the double line from Virar to Palghar opened on 1 December 1897, while that from Palghar to Dahanu Rd was opened on 17 January 1898.[5]
