Lined with old bungalows and lush chikoo orchids, the town is a quaint tourist stopover. It is also a centre of tribal tourism and visitors can explore the rich cultural heritage of the region here. The town gets its name from ‘Dhenu Gram’, which means village of cows. It is said that there was a time when most of the people in Dahanu owned cows, and that is why the place was named so.
