The island of Worli was connected to the main island of Bombay in 1784, with the completion of the Hornby Vellard. Prior to this, Worli is known to have contained a mosque, the Haji Ali dargah, on a rock in the sea, connected at low-tide to the island by a natural causeway. There were also a (Portuguese?) fort and a fishing village to the north, close to the island of Mahim. In 1842, the Love Grove sewage pumping station was completed. It had special sluice gates opening to the sea.
