Background

This place was used as a storehouse for goods imported and exported from Mumbai. In the local language, 'Bori' mean sack and 'Bandar' means port. It could also be a corruption of 'Bhandaar' meaning store.

Transport

In the 1850s, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway built its railway terminus in this area and the station took its name as Bori Bunder.[2]

gollark: I think I have better knowledge of the grammar rules and such than a lot of native speakers might.
gollark: It's still useful to be able to usefully communicate in it at all.
