An outpost of Mumbai, Virar was connected with the mainland with electric train way back in 1925. Over a period of time Virar has become a cosmopolitin surburb with approx 70% population being Marathi speaking and the balance mix of other communities .The suburb is fully developed with all the banking facilities and residential infra-structure to accommodate the growing population. 70% of the population is below 30 years and basically the result of migration from Mumbai mainland to this part of the greater city due to ever increasing cost of land.
