History
In the 16th century, Kandivali consisted of a number of villages including Kandivali (also known as Kandol), Bunder Pakhadi Koliwada, and Charkop. The other old settlements in Kandivli were villages occupied by the local community - the East Indian Community, Bhandari people , and Koli - who are recognized as the original native inhabitants of Mumbai. These communities are still living in Kandivali. Artifacts found near Kandivali indicate that the region was inhabited in the Stone Age.
