Division
The city of Mumbai lies on Salsette Island. Administratively it has two official divisions: Mumbai City district and Mumbai Suburban district. Mumbai City district consists of the southernmost part of Salsette Island. This region is called South Mumbai. The western part of Mumbai Suburban district (to the west of Sanjay Gandhi National Park) is called the Western Suburbs and the eastern part of the district is called the Eastern Suburbs.
The northernmost portion of the island which is outside Mumbai city limits, lies in Thane District.
South Mumbai, the Western suburbs and the Eastern Suburbs are not official divisions of Mumbai and as such different people may include different areas in each division. This article will use the most popular divisions.
