Sion is a neighbourhood of Mumbai. The Marathi name for Sion is Sheev which means boundary or limit. Mumbai as we know it now didn’t exist then. In the 17th century the village formed the boundary between Mumbai and Salsette Island. The British named it marking the end of the city. The name remained even after Mumbai was joined to the Salsette and extended up to Mulund. However now Sion is not the end of the city. One of the local historical places in Sion is a hilltop garden commonly known as Sion Fort or Sion Killa in native language Marathi.
