From 1975 onwards, the rise in real estate prices made mostly middle-class people to migrate to suburbs like Virar, Vasai and Nalasopara. At that time, the area of Mira-Bhayandar was part of a Gram Panchayat and was mainly consisting of agricultural land. This was the main deterrent which prevented builders to start development projects. By 1980, builders began to buy agricultural land and start developing townships. The Mira Bhayandar Municipal Council was set up on 12 June 1985 by integrating five Gram Panchayats which included the Mira Gram Panchayat, which is where Mira Road got its name.
