The most significant past in Vasai's history is the rein of the Portuguese, since they largely influenced or changed to what Vasai Taluka is today.
Another thing that makes Vasai a place of special significance is its self-sufficiency. Food products like fresh green leafy vegetables, juicy fruits, fish, milk, etc. are available in abundance.

Easy availability of residential and industrial premises at an affordable price. Rich natural resources, easy availability of space, availability of skilled labour, proximity to business centre like Mumbai, are a few reasons why Vasai has attracted a number of enterpreneurs and businessmen towards itself. It can today boast more than 1000 industrial establishments.
