Goregaon ([ɡoːɾeɡaːʋ]) is a suburb of Mumbai city, in the Mumbai Suburban district of India. It has a railway station on the Mumbai suburban railway on the Western Line. An extension of the Harbour Line was completed in 2018 due to which it has regular trains to CSMT. This is in addition to existing trains to Churchgate on the Western Line. Owing to rapid urbanization (mainly due to construction of metro lines) and the growing population of metropolitan Mumbai, Goregaon, which was once a hilly forest region is now a crowded suburb of Mumbai.
Mumbai local trains originate and terminate at Goregaon. Platforms 1 and 2 operate slow trains towards Churchgate and CSMT whereas Platform 7 operates fast trains towards Churchgate.
Marathi is the most spoken language in Goregaon. East Indian communities, Panchkalshi or Somvanshi Kshatriya Pathare (SKP) and Koli's are the native people of this area.
