In 1548, Trombay and Chembur were given to Dom Roque Tello de Menezes.[1] The area contains several ruins of Portuguese churches from the 1620s and 1630s.[2]
In 1928, the Great Indian Peninsular Railway opened the Trombay-Andheri line called the Salsette Trombay Railway or Central Salsette Tramway.[3]
The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), originally called the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay, was established in Trombay in January 1954.[4]
