HISTORY* - FIRST ENGLISH SETTLERS IN BANDRA
Even after Bandra passed into the hands of the East Indian Co. in 1774, no Englishman stayed in Bandra. The First British Protestant Christian householder to live in Bandra was Rev.Mitchel, a Scottish missionary, who had purchased a cottage with a plot of ground attached to it, in 1831. The other Englishman who came to stay in Bandra in 1840 was Mr.Bullock, Chief Magistrate of Bandra . John Vaupell of the High Court of Bombay, lived in a house in Waroda area around this time. “He usedrive everyday into Bombay in a bullock gari, priding himself mush on the quality and speed of his oxen” This could have been possible only after 1845 as the Mahim Causeway was built that year. They wer the early English Protestant Christian settlers in Bandra. Soon after, many wealthy English business magnates made Bandra their homes.
